In general, NO. However, there are only a few chipsets proliferating into many re-branded or no-name cards, IIRC... you'll want to start out with the Linux Hardware HOWTO, but might want to check some mailing list archives to find the latest word on that development. Many will work, some are workable but a pain in the arse, and some won't work.
Search for 'wireless' in http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Hardware-HOWTO.html Also see, more specific: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/#whard http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/Wireless-HOWTO.html#ss2.6 Good luck. I think if you can find out what chipset is used, you can be relatively certain that a compatible-chipset card can be made to work... YMMV! ciao, Ben On Mon, 03 Nov 2003 22:47:30 +0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | Will any of the generic Wireless PCMCIA cardbus ethernet adaptor IEEE | 802.11b [802.11g compatible] found on www.pricewatch.com work with my | RH9 system?
