Can anyone direct me to any useful resources for researching hardware suitability for use in Gentoo systems?
My immediate need is to replace my old 10Mb PCMCIA LAN card in my notebook with a 100Mb or better, ideally a multi-function card that includes a modem as well (which would probably narrow the field a bit). I know there are Linux databases where I can check is a particular card is currently supported, which is useful if I have a particular card in mind, but as I have no personal preference, I am interested in any opinions on which would be the 'best' card to go for. For example, all other things being equal, I would prefer to support a company that actively promotes Unix/Linux support by either providing a (open source) driver themselves, or making good hardware documentation available. I wouldn't want to support a company just because someone has managed to reverse engineer a driver in spite of the vendor! If anyone can suggest any good resources, or has any suggestions regarding good network cards, please let me know. Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
