Seeking wireless card for laptop w/ LINUX.

vcroww · 08-21-2005, 04:19 PM

I would like to know which wireless network card works with Linux?

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800 running SUSE 9.2 Professional.

I am using a cable, as I have not found a wireless card that will work with LINUX.

When I still used Windows XP, My Wireless Siemans card worked well. Now, I only run SUSE, and the wireless card does not work at all.

What would be the correct wireless card to use,

Thank-You!

Many WiFi cards require MadWiFi. Not sure about SuSE, but I know many distros don't have it since it's still beta.

Here is a list of Atheros based cards:

If your Linux is running a 2.6.x kernel with wireless options enabled it's easy to download, compile and install latest Madwifi driver:

Some distros, i.e. Ubuntu, supports Atheros cards out of the box.
