|

I just got a router that supports wireless connections (Netgear mr814). So, I'm considering purchasing some wireless pci nics.
Which cards work well with linux? |

I recommend the hostap drivers, so get a netgear ma311 which uses the intersil prism 2.5 chipset. You can also try the linux-wlan-ng or orinoco_pci drivers with it if hostap doesnt mesh well with you. |
