I dont understand how any card that you put in a PCI slot can be wireless really. I think you mean a wireless NIC, and I would assume the Netgear brand has pretty good compatability.

Guessing (so good luck)

Thats what I thought :), and again I don't think you can go wrong with Netgear. However, I have heard stay away from Linkdys.


goodluck

Where did you get the drivers for Linksys Wireless Cards? I have a Linksys card that works fine for XP, but I cant seem to find the drivers for RedHat 9. Where do I get them? I looked on Linksys.com but couldnt find them, and a lot of other places. I just installed RH9 on my computer...Is there a distribution of Linux that works better than RH? Thanks.

go to redhat's website and check their hardware compatability list (HCL), it will tell you what wireless NIC is best.
