Hello List, my Dell Inspiron is running better and better under Linux (Debian)[1]. Now I beginn to think about a WLAN-card, because the University of Rostock has installed a WLAN-network in most of its buildings. The problem is, I don't know, if the WLAN-card Dell offers is running with Linux. In fact they offer(ed) two variants: 1. a usual PCMCIA-card. This will work - I think - as good as every other card (and therefor I can take any other of these cards) 2. The Laptop has a builtin antenna for WLAN (this makes this solution look so sexy) which will work with a special DELL-WLAN-card (not so sexy). As far as I know, this card has to be installed into the laptop (so, maybe it is too late anyway). But I don't know anything about this card. Anyone with more information here? Thanx for any help, [1] a report on my journey through Linux-Djungle can soon be found under http://www-ae.e-technik.uni-rostock.de/home/karo/I8100-Installation.de.html (unfortunately only in german language up to now) -- Karsten Rothemund, Institut f.
