Between orinoco and orinoco_pci and a few others, the kernel actually has reasonably good coverage. linux-wlan-ng only supports a few oddball adaptors, and some USB ones that arn't supported by the stock kernel. hostap doesn't support much not in the stock kernel either. Of course this ignores all the newer stuff that has only binary module support. > > We still need more people testing d-i on more strange and wonderful > > hardware.

We don't have as good a handle on what hardware has worked as we can, so pretty much anything that's not in the top 75% of most common hardware. -- see shy jo
