Hi, now that I have a wireless router at work and home (both are 802.11b
& g), I need a pcmcia card for my laptop. Plenty of them about of
course, but I want to make sure it will work under linux. Any advice on
which ones are better / easier to get going under linux / reliability /
range etc would be appreciated.
For example while this one from DSE mentions specifically linux support
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/43278a92043fc6f8273fc0a87f990730/Product/View/XH6828
it is quite a lot more expensive than others that do not such as
http://www.dse.co.nz/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/43278a92043fc6f8273fc0a87f990730/Product/View/XH8345
which does not.
While I do not have to pay for it myself, I don't have an unlimited
budget and so can't just buy anything I want. I have no idea whether
the 2.6 kernel translates into "all cards will go" and can get away with
a cheap genius card or or whether I need to be pretty careful about what
I get.
Cheers,
Roger
