my first comment RTFM my second is that there is
http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk
i bought my wireless cards from there they work out of the box with no
need to install extra support. look at their site and check your
chipset against theirs. the cards work on Debian and debian based
distros like Ubuntu. they supply drivers for fedora suse etc. free.
