I've went through 2 different wireless adapters that ran on the ralink driver, neither of which worked. I rlly don't want to keep my desktop computer on the floor by my router/tv. Does anyone know of a usb adapter that works out of the box with ubuntu 9.10? Driver included for linux on the installation disk?
Don't give me a link to some forum with a list of adapters that MIGHT work. Try giving a link to the product documentation. And if not that, at least provide a link so I know I find the right product instead of typing in the wrong version into google and spending another 20-40 dollars or more. I would prefer to have an n wireless adapter but if this isn't possible, at least a g adapter. I've been going around on websites for a week now and have found literally nothing. Please help.

What websites have you gone too? and What wireless cards have you already tried? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...l%20RNX-G300LX This card had a lot of promise to it. Seen quite a few reports that as stated "worked right out of the box" It did not get alot of good reviews lately. So use at your own risk.
Have you also looked at our HQ HCL. That list is pretty good.
