Re: wireless

Hi Jay

Thanks for the response. It does not have to be USB but I
would prefer
it to be USB. I found this wireless linux site:

  http://
linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB

which lists a number of USB wireless devices as being
supported. Is this
not the case? Am I reading the list incorrectly?

Maybe the USB support is something new to the 2.6.23 kernel.
The home
page for linuxwireless has the following news blurb dated
Oct 10, 2007:

"Linux 2.6.23 was released today. On the wireless
front, a variety of
fixes and improvements were contributed all over the place.
The biggest
news items are the inclusion of the rtl8187 driver, which
supports USB
devices based on the RTL8187 chipset, and zd1211rw
enhancements to
support devices based on the Atheros AR5007UG USB
chipset."

Which PCMCIA wireless adapter would you recommend?

Thanks Marv

I have a 3com 3CRUSB10075 with the zd1211rw chipset and when
I last
tested it worked quite well (it was around F7 release).
