Re: REPOST: DSL/Networking Help
You don't specify how you will be using the wireless adapter -- PCI in a
desktop, pcmcia, (?). At any rate, this first link is pcmcia-only, and
was updated last just after linux-2.6.8 was released (the kernel used in
Sarge):
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS
This page has a *great* overview of how to setup wireless networking in
a linux environment, and also has good links to compatible hardware:
http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/linux-hn/wmp11-linux.htm#_Toc98941662
Also, this page has listings of both pcmcia and pci wireless card, and
even links to Amazon to buy the hardware:

Good luck
chance
