hi people, i know this is a topic that's probably been covered, but as i only just joined the list, i wouldn't really know.. i tried to search the list archives first and googled a bit and whilst i've been able to find lists of supportted wireless ethernet devices, i can't find any real advice as to what is the best thing to go for is, based upon obviously quality and just as importantly support by linux..
what i'm after is an 802.11g wireless pci card - in fact most of the stuff i've found relates to pcmcia cards, so i'm not entirely sure if what i'm after is available (of course i could also buy a pci->pcmcia converter card, but i'm not sure about how they work in relation to drivers either, but i guess just using the normal pcmcia drivers is the way to go).. so, i was wondering does anyone have any experience in setting these up, and if so could they recommend a product a buy? i might in fact be going down the wrong road here too, as the idea is that i want to install a wireless card in my desktop so i can network an apple powerbook with it, but my understanding is that this would essentially be an "adhoc" network setup and is in fact quite a standard feature - although as i said, i could be wrong.. (in fact the desktop will become a server/gateway, but i think i pretty much have that bit covered).. so i'm hoping i dont have to fork out for an access point to support essentially 1 wireless machine! anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks :) -- tone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
