Hi all! I would like to buy an USB wifi adapter, can you suggest me any good hardware for linux? I searched through the web and the forum but I didn't find an answer.

Thanks

Picander,

I use a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adaptor P57265 Part # F5D7050. It uses the Ralink chip set and works on UDB 1.1 and USB 2.0.
The driver is not in portage, its rt2570-1.1.0-b1.tar.gz.
There is a unified driver for the rt2500 series of wireless links (in portage) but it does not work for me.
