I've been looking for a while for some and all the ones that I've found are either older versions or I can't find any place that is selling them.

I'm trying to remove the clutter from around my desk and since I already have wireless running for my laptop I figured I might as well move my two other machines to wireless as well. Only problem is I can't seem to find any that are natively supported under linux.


Help please?

Thank You
Jeff

Check the Hardware HOWTO at www.tldp.org - it should have a listing. Personally I'm using a Cisco/Aironet card with no issues.

Although not strictly native, ndiswrapper (http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/) supports quite a few wireless chipsets. I've got both a desktop and laptop running on wireless cards (Both slackware) using ndiswrapper. Give it a look.

I am currently running a Blitzz BWI715 wireless card that I ordered from TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1086131&CatId=368) and its based on the AtherosG chipset which is supported by the Mad Wifi porject. I had no problems installing it under Mandrake. It automatically detected the card and loaded the appropriate module.
