|
|
Does anyone know of a wireless card that is compatible with amd x86_64? I've heard that broadcom chipsets are compatible but I havent got the slightest clue which card to use. Could someone name 1 or 2 cards with manufacturer and model number and not by chipset so I can go purchase one. |

I cannot tell you to by a specific card as manufacturers keep changing the chipset without changing the model number - SMC and NetGear I know for a fact have done this.
However, I use a NetGear WG311 myself which uses the Atheros chipset (madwifi driver) which works just fine in my amd64 box. |
