Which would be the best choice (or pros/cons): * 802.11b+ based DLink 22Mbps AirPlus cards with the binary acx100 drivers (Dlink cards seems to be popular among local dealers and cheaper than Linksys ones, but are the binary drivers mature?). They seem like a cheap way to get significant additional bandwidth. I assume these are backwards compatible with 802.11b (11Mbps) devices (and by extension 802.11g ones as well?)
http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/DlinkDwl650Plus * one of the older 'End-Of-Life Noticed' (see http://www.dlink.com.ph/marketing/productinfo.nsf/194e6d48542fdf9948256ca70008ac14/0ff073c979d5f08348256b3b00071eb4?OpenDocument ) Prism-based DLinks (i.e. DWL650 PCMCIA or DWL520 PCI) * LinkSys WPC11 PC Card (does it work fine with Linux when inserted in a WDT11 PCI Adapter?) * just a straight Linksys WMP11 PCI card * One of the draft 802.11g spec based cards (Linksys' Wireless-G series or Dlink XtremeG). Linksys' front page claims that they are only 'fractionally' more expensive that 802.11b based devices. [Are Linux drivers for these 'G' cards available? Are these draft 802.11g devices interoperable with one another? And will they be upgradable for free once the 802.11g spec gets nailed down?] * Lucent Wavelan based cards... are any relatively cheap ones locally available? Supposed to have the most mature Linux support - is this still true? * other suggestions... what's the word on the USB-based stuff? Are they cheaper/just as cheap/more expensive/easier or harder to get running under Linux compared to PCI and PCMCIA solutions? _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
