WLan


Just a quick quiz before I do anything.

Is it generally hard to get Wlan cards working in Linux?

Nope, if you can find one that most distro's support, they are fairly easy to work. I picked up a Netgear MA401, works right out of the box. Even Slackware picked it up and all I had to do was assign the proper essid and enc and it worked as quickly as I could type the command for the first time.
