I am in search of a supplier of wirless PCMCIA cards that will work with Xandros 2.0 (linux in general) in the Calgary area.

Tried the WPC11 Ver.4 from memory express - wrong chipset. Earlier ones used prism 2? set but now are using a realtek set that doesn’t work to well for linux yet.

The following are the chipsets that apparently work,

Aironet

Prism2 /2.5

Other useful sites I came across in the struggle.

Have you tried ndiswrapper.sf.net? I'm not sure what exactly it does, but I have heard about it doing something for people in your situation.

Best of luck, unsupported hardware can be a pain.
