had the subject been wireless nic I would have replied earlier Ok here I would like to share my experiences,
Regarding wireless card the most well supported cards are all centrino chipset (I have tested 2100 and 2200), if you have a laptop. I am using athros chipset based Netgear 311T (atheros 5212 chipset) based cards for desktops and Netgear 511T for laptops with very good performance. prism chipset also works well. other usually work with ndiswrapper (go for ndiswrapper only if there is no other option). IMPORTANT: make sure when you purchase Wireless NIC, please check the chipset in the wireless LAN cards and not the brand name or model, usually card manufacturers have different versions of the card under same brand name, and the different versions have different chipsets, which sometimes dont work as expected. Dlink also has some atheros chipset based cards. That basically means if it is said cisco aironet works, ask which version of aironet and with what chipset. best is to go for centrino, then atheros then all else **may** work using ndiswrapper. For atheros use madwifi (madwifi.org) drivers For centrino (2100 or 2200), you may need to download the appropriate firmware from intel site, rest works fine, drivers are part of fc3.
