Need a current list of USB wireless cards for Linux of course!
Or links. Thanks all. |

Me! Me! Pick me! Actually I have two to recommend. Anything with an Atheros chipset will work splendidly, plus you can do advanced functions with it like wireless access point and Kismet snooping. For quick n EZ wireless client I just purchased some Rosewill RNX-G1W USB wireless interfaces. No problems at all and completely plug n play, about $20 at Newegg. |

Check here: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB and here: http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/ I don't know how up to date the listings are. Linux Emporium actually sells the devices, so they should know what works and what doesn't. |

Yes, that is it. You all can have the rest of the day off. The world just became a better place. Thanks all. |

Well, I've had great luck with the WiBee 802.11g card, and it's dirt cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/WiBee-802-11g-Wireless-WiFi-USB-2-0-LAN-... |

Stay away from netgear and linksys. I tried a lot of them and they all had broadcom chipsets. |

If you need a list, and not a 'single brand' suggestion, I'd suggest http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/net/wireless/cards.html or if you don't care about 'free' and want anything that works: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php/cat/10 Those are the semi-official Linux-hardware lists I am aware of. Speaking for Dino: OpenSuse works good with RaLink (but you need the right chipset version) |
