Ubuntu wireless device?

[Dazed_75]

Mike, I have two Linksys wireless g pci cards running with ubuntu, I don't
have he model # without opening the towers which are not easy to get at but
the cards were very common a few years ago and are listed by lshw as

> /0/100/1e/a        wlan0       network     RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI
>

I also have used a USB Wireless G Adapter which is also a wireless finder
with ubuntu.  I gave it away to a friend so again I do not have the model
but as I recall it was something like WRT54G??-USB.  I could get that model
# also if needed.

I have in my hands a Netgear WG111 which I have used with ubuntu.  It is the
USB dongle type.

I have in my hands a Cisco Micronet 350 which I have used with ubuntu.  It
is the pcmcia type (or whatever they are called now).

I've not seen a wireless card that did not work with ubuntu at an
installfest for over 6 months.

And lastly I have a D-Link DWL-G520 pci card w/o it's antenna that I could
try with ubuntu later by stealling an antenna from another machine for the
test.

If no one has told you, your luck will be best with a recent version of
ubuntu and you might have to go to System --> Administration --> Hardware
Drivers and let it check for drivers.  It can even install ndiswrapper
automatically for some wireless chips.

Hope that helps
Larry
