Hi, I hope someone can help me with this, before I go mad (no pun
intended.) :)
I was initially looking for a relatively cheap 54Mbps, 802.11g- and
WPA-capable network card, based on an Atheros chipset, but after
spending the whole of last night looking for one - to no avail - I gave
up.
I'm almost about to conclude that Atheros is not the way to go. So now I
want to know, if anyone can recommend ANY card, being cheap and
supporting the features mentioned above. I don't mind using NDIS, as
long as it works flawlessly. Also it would be good, if the card was a
popular one, so community support is more available.
For driver support in FreeBSD, Atheros is definitely the way to go. Have
you looked through the listings here?

Also, you failed to mention what your definition of "cheap" is, and what
form factor you're looking for (PCI, Cardbus, etc.) I would start with the
listings at the link above and look through products from the
cheaper-but-popular brands (D-Link, Belkin, Netgear, Linksys) to see if
there are any you can currently buy within your price range.
I can't really say what cheap is, just that it's in the low(er) end of
the scale. I only have a rough sense of the price levels in Denmark and
I certainly know nothing about them in the US. :)
The cheapest Atheros card I have found is the Cameo WLG-1202, $50 NZD and
works fine.
Thanks, but there's no mention of that card on ANY Danish website. :)
Most of them seem to be com.nz. I'd like to buy a locally to save money.
