Linux compatible wifi cards


Hi All,

I'm running Debian Lenny Stable kernel ver.: 2.6.26-2-686
and need to purchase a new wireless network card. I'm hoping to find a list of current cards that work well with Debian native drivers. I haven't found too much through Google. Can anyone point me to a good doc or let me know which cards you've had luck with?

Thanks Much,

ab

The FSF is a good (although quite incomplete) source for finding hardware that works with free drivers.
For example:
