[Lancaster] A good wireless PCI card

[Martyn Welch]

Hi All,

I've been trying to get hold of a well supported wireless PCI card for a 
number of weeks now, with little success. Wireless cards seem to be one of 
those classes of hardware where good support is only available /after/ the 
shops have stopped selling the device! Either that or after a revision 
change, it still surprises me that hardware manufacturers will completely 
change the device and just continue using the same part number!

Then I found this:

http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/

I bought one of the PCI cards. It turned up extremely quickly - over the 
weekend. Though requiring a 32bit PCI slot (luckily the aging PC I wanted to 
install one of these cards in did!), it was detected straight away by Ubuntu 
as it should.

Linux Emporium even include their own CD with the drivers on just in case!

Martyn
