wireless recommendations
I am finally breaking down and I'm getting a @Home DSL connection in my house. Would like to run an wireless access point and a wireless card om my laptop. Does anyone have any preferences to what vendor(s) work well or don't work well with Linux? Are there any Linux distros that have wireless complied into the kernel?

I don't use an AP. Instead, I use a second wireless card with an external antenna on one of my servers and connect to it. I'm masquerading the entire network and I didn't see any point in paying 2-3 times the price for an AP when I can do the same thing with a second nic. -- Andrew Mathews 10:15am up 2:49, 2 users, load average: 1.21, 1.21, 1.16 BOFH excuse #152: My pony-tail hit the on/off switch on the power strip. ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
