Re: Debian and wireless network cards

[Brian Kimball <bk@bk.cx>]

I just solved this dilemma two days ago.  I found the hawking hwp54g 
works well and is pretty inexpensive.  Hawking has used a few different 
chipsets but IIRC they all have linux drivers in varying degrees of 
development.  The one that I bought has a Ralink rt2500 chipset, and 
the driver for it is actually based on code donated to the community 
from Ralink, which is always a good sign.
