Any device with a RT2500USB chipset (aka RT2570) should work with ural-linux [1] which is a port of the BSD ural driver [2]. My initial motivation for this port was exactly to have Wi-Fi with my 12" Powerbook under Debian. Based on this chipset, the Asus WL-167G is very cheap, at least in Paris: 30 euros. The driver still have some issues, WEP support is still among them, but is reliabily working with on a daily basis, at least for me. :) [1] http://etudiants.insia.org/~jbobbio/ural-linux/ [2] http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ral/ HTH, -- Jérémy
