[SLUG] Wireless PCMCIA cards - recommendations

I've decided to upgrade my wireless pcmcia card to something *really* well supported under Linux. It seems that the Prism chipsets are very well developed so after perusing the Prism54 supported cards list (http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php?sort_by=success_cnt) it seems that the Netgear

What Linux are you using? I had RedHat 9, and I got a this problem where each time I restarted 'named', i.e., service named restart I got Sopping Named Failed. The reason was that /var/run/named/named.pid was not being created because /var/run/named was owned by 'root' and 'service named restart'
