I've tried two pcmcia cards after doing some research and
have problems with both. First was d-link 650 which used
to be prism2 and supposed to work but newer ones are no
longer prism & require proprietary drivers.


Took that back and picked up netgear
but the newer netgear pcmcia 802.11b is also no longer
prism2 but realtek.  I tried downloading and building the
realtek driver but it didn't work.  I _really_ want to avoid
proprietary object code that close to the kernel so plan on
taking it back tomorrow.

The store I got the other two at also has the Microsoft USB
802.11b standalone gizmo.  I'm allergic to MSoft but if that's
the way to go, so be it.

I could also drive an hour and go to a bigger computer store
in Atlanta for some other brand/model.


So, what works well with gentoo (802.11b wise)?

Or please point me to a forum/web page that's up to date.

Thanks,
Heitzso
