I can't offer good advise here - for my pcmcia card I bought and tried
until I got something that worked. Kind of an expensive method...
As a tangent, however, can a business case be made for Red Hat to
develop / market a proper open source wireless adapter line? I realize
that the retail channel hasn't been Red Hat's strongest effort over the
years, so I will not hold my breath.
That's a good idea though - it is sort of a special case because the
area is very weak for Linux (along with audio?).
Out of interest, which card did you end up using?
Thanks,
Phil.
