I need to get one for my dad's new Ubuntu box since his new home
office is inconveniently far away from the switch and router in
his house, and I don't think he's up for running cat 6 cable up in
his ceiling. Not a USB, but a PCI slot card is the order of
business. So if you have personal knowledge of one that already
works with Ubuntu 10.4 I'd like to know about it before spending
any time on wrestling with his computer. I might be willing to try
one that you know works with Ubuntu 9.10. --


I have an Intel Wireless N card. It works out of the box on
Karmic. Plus, it is faster than a "g" card when on a "g" network.


Foxcon, at one time, also had an open source wireless card. Not sure about
the current status of the card but it had a nice little antenna that you
could stick on top of your computer. But this Intel card has worked without
a hiccup. Second floor with a metal roof halfway in the way of the router.




There is also a list of Linux friendly wireless cards somewhere out on the
internet. Good luck.


Nice website systemstheory.net <sdavmor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, BTW.
