whatever you get as long as the hardware isn't too strange. strange might be
a gsm modem, fingerprint reader, dual mode graphics, no name 802.11 card -
stuff like that.
Not sure what you mean by a 'no name 802.11 card' - they all use the
same handful of chipsets, some of which have better linux support, and
some worse. Are 'no name' cards more likely to use one of the less
supported chipsets than brand name ones?
Yes. And use dodgy materials and shoddy engineering.
The latter is indicated by common sense, but I'm not convinced of the
former. Your basis?
The same as why "they" use shoddy engineering: shave a few pennies
here, a few pennies there, and you've got yourself a really cheap card.
Might work great, might not.
