Hello,
I'd like to get a Wireless PCI Card for my Linux system.
I'd like it to support WPA2 and also be Wireless G. I am currently
using Debian, but this is a new system, so I'm perfectly willing
to switch to another distribution if necessary. I'm willing to
try new things if it'll make it easy to get a working wireless
card. =)
Can anyone suggest a card to get? Thanks!

I'm an Atheros fan; Madwifi is great code, and in the spirit of
free software, although not actually completely free.

Hey everyone, thanks a lot for the advice! I ended up getting a
Netgear WPN311 Wireless G PCI card. Now I'm just trying to get
the darn thing working. Right now, I'm actually using the
desktop install of Ubuntu 6.10, Edgy Eft. I've followed the
advice here:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/enable-wpa-wireless-access-point-in-ubuntu.html
to the letter. No dice. I don't see the small graphic of blue
bars that the author has pictured. What I find really strange
is that my card just doesn't seem to be finding any wireless
networks at all. I click the icon that looks like two little
black monitors, and I have a "Wired Network" option, but then
under the "Wireless Networks" there is just nothing. Like my
card isn't picking up anything. (I know there are a few
wireless networks in my area that it should see)
In Device Manager the card is identified as a "AR5212 802.11abg
NIC" and it has two entries underneath it, a "WLAN Interface"
and an "Unknown Device".
I figure whatever I've messed up, I've done such a fantastic job
of it that I'll just have to figure out for myself, but does
anything jump out at anyone right away?
Thanks,
- GM
