Hallo All,

I decided I'd like to try and play with wireless network a bit.
For that I am seardhing for a PCVI wireless network card which is
supported by Linux without any extras like ndiswrapper.
Can anyone recommend a ghood card?
My system is SlackWare 10.2 with kernel 2.6.14.


I have been using this card under Fedora Core 5.

You will installation instructions here:

Maybe quite not what you want, you have to compile and install the kernel
module, and the startup script need to be modified to work properly.
But you will find that there is quite a lot of information about this if you
search Google for it.

Good luck!
