No, he is totally incorrect and is misguiding you. The linux support for a pci wireless card is not dependent upon the speed. It is the chip on the card which matters. Find out which chip is the card using and then check whether there is a linux driver for that wireless chip available or not. You may refer to the following sites: http://linuxwireless.org/ http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ There are some wireless cards which don't have a linux driver but you can configure most of them with ndiswrapper which uses the windows drivers. http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ > regards, > amit Also, using the latest kernels would help since there a number of wireless drivers have been added in the newer kernels. -- Manish Kathuria Tux Technologies http://www.tuxtechnologies.co.in/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
