You don't specify how you will be using the wireless

(the kernel used in
Sarge):

This page has a *great* overview of how to setup
wireless networking in
a linux environment, and also has good links to
compatible hardware:

Also, this page has listings of both pcmcia and pci
wireless card, and
even links to Amazon to buy the hardware:

Thanks for the reply. I'll check them out. I have a
w98se PII old machine with limited resources, set up
for DSL and plan to put a Linksys WMP 54G here. Have a
Dell Dimensions XPS T450 450 MHz with Deb woody-bf2.4
stable that I plan to hardwire to 2Wire wireless
router/DSL modem after getting networking setup. The
WMP54G is linux compatable per guru at the place of
purchase. Would like to setup net/DSL on woody and
upgrade via DSL if possible. Plan to put the wlan
adapt on windows to avoid any conflicts. Related to
this is what to select in base-config for setup with
networking, desktop, webserver, mailserver, etc,? Used
desktop prior to networking and not sure what Deb
conventions are on this. I don't want to be a web or
email server, just have a lan with 2 pcs on it and
both accessable to DSL.
Currently woody is broke with no X on kdn and kde gui
after a new install with CD's and dependency/broke
package issues. Haven't got X fixed but have resolved
depends/brokens with aptitude gui.
