The Wavelan (Orinoco) cards work fine with the latest releases of Mandrake. The pcmcia package contains drivers for the cards, so you don't have to compile anything. There are several brands of wireless cards, but many of them are just OEM versions of the Wavelan stuff and use the same drivers. Nearly all of them are PCMCIA cards. To use them in a server, they require a PCMCIA adaptor card that plugs into an ISA slot on the motherboard. I've been using them with Linux for nearly 2 years. From a networking standpoint, they operate the same as a regular ethernet card. Jeff At 10:24 AM 10/20/00 -0600, you wrote: >Does anyone know anything about wireless networking under Linux?
