Re: [SOLVED] Wireless Adapter Card compatibility

[Mark <mamarcac@gmail.com>]

Awesome info, thanks everyone for helping find a good solution.  I have yet to purchase but have very good direction on some candidates to buy now.

Klistvud: Thanks for the tips - I prefer to put my money towards a Linux-friendly company any chance I get.  I'd prefer a new card if possible but not opposed to buying used.

Nate: Great info.  I've found several ath5k module cardbus adapters using Celejar's link (http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Atheros, and searching for "ath5k" in the results).  Having the card supported natively with the kernel is my ideal solution.

Thanks again for the ideas and help!

I've had excellent success with Atheros based adapters.  They now use
the ath5k module included with recent kernels.  I dont't have any of
the newer hardware that requires the ath9k driver, however.
