[Wylug-discuss] Cardbus/PCMCIA Wireless Adapter Card Recommendation

[James Holden]

Dave,

As I've mentioned before, the cards based on the RT2500 chipset have GPL
drivers, and a nice GUI config tool for finding networks, setting keys
etc. It 'just worked' on my box after I emerged the driver.

Now, the eternal problem is of course identifying the cards that have
the chipset. Mine's branded 'cable & wireless' and I picked it up from
Comet for 19.99. Google may help you find other cards with this
chipset.

eg, here:
