i tryed getting into mandrake awhile ago, and wireless networking ...i installed Mandrake 10 and bought a belkin wireless card.. sadly couldnt figure out how the hell to ge that card to work ..

So instead of going wireless im just gonna get a normall network card and plug it into my router !

I have used Via Rhine and Realtek based network cards ok on Linux. I am sure I bought them from ebuyer as well and on the product specs, they list whether they work with Linux.

Isn't the type of the chip used by the card listed somewhere on the device or documentation. This usually gives you an idea about which drivers to use.
