Hi,

The current best bet for wireless is the ralink rt2x00 series, which you
can read about here:

The older prism54 cards (using the FullMAC chipset, see
http://prism54.org) work very well too, but are a bit thin on the ground
these days.

I'm trying to help a friend set up Ubuntu with 802.11 wireless access.
I've had a look at a few of the websites regarding chipsets and vendors
that work with Linux. The  websites I have looked at appear not to have
been updated much in the past 6 ~ 12 months.

I've had some success with a Belkin PCI wireless adapter on RHEL 3
using ndiswrapper, however when I tried Fedora Core 2 with ndiswrapper,
something appeared to be broken (didn't have time to do too much
investigation).

Of the  more readily available vendors: Belkin, DLink, LinkSys,
Netgear, Cisco? can anybody offer some suggestions on possible choices
for both PCMCIA & PCI cards?

Thanks.

Cheers
Shane
