Re: minipci card for dell inspiron 4100

[Marcus Crafter <crafterm@managesoft.com>]

Hi Michael,

Hope all is going well mate.

I've got an Inspiron 8500, and I bought/installed the Proxim Orinoco 
Gold card, which was a 802.11a/b/g mini-PCI card.

It works fine under Debian with the GPL madwifi (atheros) driver. 
There's also a debian package available for building kernel module 
source packages of the driver as well.

Details are at: http://people.debian.org/~crafterm/inspiron8500.html

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Marcus
