Re: Wireless internet for squeeze desktop
Can anyone suggest a wireless card or wireless USB adaptor which has good compatibility / support in squeeze? Did you check the wiki? http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi#InstallDriver i second the wiki. however, if you don't mind its size, the alfa 802.11b/g long-range wireless usb adapter is great. it has a chipset that everyone supports, can be put into monitor (promiscuous) mode, is 5 watts (to fry your brain quicker), has a sma (??) connector to hook up another antenna to it. and this thing takes a beating. it was ~$35 USD when i got it about a year ago. besides, if you're like everyone else i know, you've got the back of your computer facing a wall. this means, when you shove a wireless card in your computer, you've got the antenna for it butt up against the wall too - not good. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
