I'm searching for a good wireless PCI card which is totally supported

Until now I've only manage to learn that the atheros-based cards are
supported under linux. Yet, that whole binary blob thing is a bit of a
downer. So, can anyone recommend me a nice WiFi PCI card from a
manufacturer which treats linux with respect?

I believe there are none. IMHO - your best bet is an Atheros card and
mad-wifi.




Thanks in advance
