I've had a well versed network tech for a local uni suggest that<br>orinocco cards are fantastic. I can't remember what he said about<br>cisco cards. But definately make sure when you pick out something<br>that you see the device listed by the drivers you intend to use.
</blockquote><div><br>I'll second that. I've got an old Dell TrueMobile 1500 802.11b card, which is an ORiNoCo Gold OEM'd. It's only B, and it's 16-bit PCMCIA, but it works pretty much flawlessly in any distro newer than 3 years old or so, I've even used it with an old copy of FreeBSD, say
4.3ish on a 486SLC50 laptop for WarDrving. Very capable, very compatible cards.<br><br>Jon.<br></div><br></div>
