[ale] WiFi PC Card Market

[Dow_Hurst]

Jeff,
Just a thought, if your wife's laptop has a mini-pci slot with a internal antennae that has never been used, you could go that route with the Intel IPW2200 card.  There was about a year ago a company, I have a bookmark to, that sold the prism chipset in a mini pci card config, if your interested in my posting that info.

I'm needing to buy a PC Card Wifi adapter for my wife's laptop and I'm
not up on the Linux-supportedness of the makes and models one would find
in the typical Fry's, Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.  I have a prism54
card for my own laptop that works fairly well, but it's not my
understanding that I can get the FooBar 65X3342 card and assume it has
the same chipset as the FooBar 65X3342 card from two years ago.

I also have that classic problem that you can't really tell from the
shrinkwrapped box just what chipset a Wifi card has, much less whether
or not it's Linux-usable.

Jeff
