I am in no way connected with this bloke, but this card works great with linux ( all his ads are for the same card AFAICS ) - as long as you have minipci available. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Computers/Networking-modems/Wireless-networking/auction-47353582.htm The atheros chipset works great using the madwifi drivers ( http://madwifi.sf.net ). I use these.
