The older DWL-650 (prism chipset from memory) work, it's the 650+ that uses the dodgy "military grade" chipset. I've used a 650 and they scream along. The Orinoco-chipset beasties, like most of the ones from Lucent/Agere work well (I've got an old 2Mb that works nicely). Seriously, I don't think that the driver issue is quite as nasty as people think. One bonus of buying stuff for laptops is that you can bring your pre-built Linux kernel and machine along and try them out at a store somewhere. Make notes of which ones work, then find somewhere cheap to get them from. <grin> - Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
