RE: Wireless Pcmcia

If you want a good card at a reasonable price, about 40 USD on sale, the
Netgear WG511 (802.11g) is supported with the prism54 driver. Couple of
caveats, if you are not using Klaus Knopper's awesome Knoppix 3.3 it takes
some mucking about copying the windows .arm file over and placing it in the
firmware.agent directory, compiling the prism54 module, and etc. Also, the
WG511T is not supported it is not the Prism GT chipset, so be careful when
you buy. If this sounds like agony, use Mark's excellent suggestion or go to
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/ and check their compatibility list.
