Wireless PCI Adaptors

[Glenn Meehan <glenn.meehan@swiftdsl.com.au>]

Hi,

I was thinking of purchasing a D-Link AirPlus DWL-520+ wireless PCI
adaptor.  But comp.os.linux.networking seems to indicate the this device
is not supported by GNU/Linux.  It seems that the netgear wg311 also has
issues.

However this document seems to indicate it is supported:

I need:
2 wireless PCI adapters
1 wireless pcmcia adapter
1 wireless router


Does anyone have any recomendations as to a good wireless pci adaptor
compatible with GNU/Linux?

I live in Australia so hopefully any recomendations will be availbale
locally.

I am running 2.4.18.  Will I need to upgrade my kernal?  If so to which
version?

TIA
