BT 2100 and 1060


UK question only.... OS RedHat 8
.
I have a BT 2100 wireless ADSL router with a 1060 wireless adapter.
My broadband should be switched on later this week , so I'm just getting prepared for any problems.......
I don't foresee any issue with connecting the router via my network card (the router has 4 ethernet ports) - any one know any different?
The area where I think I may have issues is the 1060 adapter - does anyone know where I can get drivers for this card?
Failing that, anyone know of a wireless adapter (11g?) that works well with RedHat 8?

Drivers depend on the chipset - any ideas what chip that baby is loaded with? I dont think you'll have any/many problems. I'm not sure about RH8 but my belkin f5d7000 card works fine with FC3. However you may wish to consider purchasing a card from a more linux-friendly manufacturer, more to show your support if anything.
Regards
Chris

I've been in touch with the ASKEY CORPORATION who manufacture the cards, and they've pointed me back at BT - so I've bounced the question back to them.
Maybe the easiest way is, as you say, to get a Linux friendly adapter and ADSL modem/router. You say your Belkin adapter works under FC3 - the only other adapter that I've seen that quotes Linux is Orinoco - I looked at the HCL list, but maybe I'm missing something as you have to know what you want before the list is of any use - ie there are no specific recommendations.
