Just a heads up to anyone that is interested... I just purchased the Netgear WG511U at CrapUSA (on sale today and tommorrow 1/15/06 and 1/16/06 $19.99 after $30 MIR) and it works right outta the box. At least with Mandriva 2006... It's an Atheros chipset. Yippie

If you can find a Netgear card that is a 511T, the T is the key, then it will work with the Atheros driver.

Actually, the response I was hoping for would be kinda like the following:
I just picked up the XXXbrand wireless notebook adapter model # XXXXXX at Microcenter for $5 after rebate, plugged it in and Bam! I was connected...

Hi All, I've been searching for info on supported pcmcia wireless cards for my laptop. A Thinkpad T23... As yet I have found little info other than some comments regarding the chipset. I would really prefer to simply purchase a card, plug it in
and
be done with it. The problem seems to be that no manufacturer seems forthcoming with chipset info. Can someone suggest a card that they have had
success
with and tell me the "Retail" brandname and model number? Beats the hell
out
of buying one, taking it home, dicovering it has an unsupported chipset, returning it and repeating the process again and again. Thanks _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
