Shop around but ensure :- - Your chosen manufacturer has linux support. (IE linux.manufacturer.com or www.manufacturer.com/linux has relevant stuff on it.) - Look at the manufacturer's forums for users experiences. - Some models are certified for RHEL - If you need to madwifi or ndiswrapper are open source projects that provide drivers for wireless cards. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.
