Hmmm. This stick is difficult to buy here... I think it's a bit old. > Or, alternatively, you could take a Debian laptop to the store and ask > them to let you test their selection of WLAN sticks ?... That's an option, but when I want to test if it works well, then I also need an access point and a password. But I can also buy them when I see a network and test it at home. > Or, alternatively, you could consult one of the numerous Linux HCL's now > available, although they tend to be slightly outdated. Not sure what an HCL is. I think you mean a website with information. I found here something: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB It can tell after some searching if a device is supported. But it's a difficult thing to find which is the best to buy. Is here somebody who can tell which driver/chipset or vendor is good? > Oh, yes -- I personally strongly advise against buying a Belkin.
