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
