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. 802.11g cards are not supported at all it seems
The following are the chipsets that apparently work, Aironet Prism2 /2.5
Other useful sites I came across in the struggle.
List of wireless cards and there chipset http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz (45 pages if you print it)
Here is a Howto for installing a product Driverloader suppose to use windows drives for linux cards http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=4911 Haven't tried it though.
General information site for linux wireless http://www.goonda.org/wireless/
Just found an hopeful while doing this note Apparently Topcomsys has the Zonet cards Zonet 802.11b ZEW1000P PCMCIA Prism2/2.5/3 website claims Linux support From list stated above.

I am currently using a Proxim Harmony OEM card, works fine under SUSE 9.1, I am thinking of upgrading to a high power SMC2532W-B from Memory Express which is also supposed to be supported, it also has both internal and external antenae. Its a special order but should only take a few days. You could have my Proxima or an Octopus (TwinMoS?) card for $15 either one the proxima will only do 64bit WEP and the Octupus has realteck chipset. If that wrapper thing will work. For general compatability look at Seattle Wireless

I have a SMC2835W, it is an 802.11g and it works great. I am using it with Mandrake 10. Check out this site : prism54.org Lots of good information.
