| 524452 | 2007-02-17 09:27:00 | But I am also considering just putting a cable in. I have a flat with a Apple OSX, WinXP and FC5 to get going. I will do wireless for the Apple & OSX and cable for the Linux PC. I have viewed technical sheets by the dozen and none I can find actually say the chipset used. So there seems to be no way to guarantee that a card I buy will work. | johnd (85) | ||

Wired may be the way to go, as its really hard to be sure something will work (unless you want to use ndiswrapper, which i admit, is defeating a bit of the point of running linux) |
