What wireless nic's are compadible with Slackware 9.1?


So I am getting ready to get broadband. However I will to sharing the broadband in the house. Since my dad and I don't want to deal with any cables. We have decided to go wireless on this. I have decided on a wireless US Robitcs Router. I'm more concerned about the compadibility of the wireless USR nics. Main server is going to be a simple AMD 500MHZ with 512Mgs stardard CDROM, & Videocard.

This is the NIC I am thinking of getting

U.S. Robotics - USR5416 - 100Mbps 802.11g Wireless Turbo PCI Adapter

I have been searching on the net for linux hardware support. In the end I figure it would be easiest to just come here for some advice.

Thanks

I think 802.11g isnt 100% yet in linux. I know several different 802.11b's that I use work flawless. But if your set on .11g, you may need to dual boot with windows till you get your connection up and running... Can be a pain in the arse tho.
