Ok, I tried the ndiswrapper on my Buffalo wli-cb-g54 and....nothing. I need to know what card is easiest to install. I'm using slackware 10 on a laptop, I would like to use a pcmcia card but usb will work. Any suggestions? This is the only thing that is keeping me from fully switching from M$, so PLEASE I want to switch! Thanks in advance.

My card has worked in every distro with ease. The bad thing is that you have to find the older version.
Netgear WG511

Not the 511T, and it has to be made in Taiwan. The ones made in China don't work.

Hi!
If you want to set up a WiFi network @ home with Linux I'd recomend using one of ZAAPA's usb
WiFi cards.
They come with linux drivers inside the cdrom and instalation manual.
You ought to buy quite a good one cuz cheap ones have a low signal

Any doubts to linuxphilippe@yahoo.com
