I am looking for USB wifi (my PCMCIA bridge is fried) hardware to use with Linux/W2k 
on my notebook and am having trouble determining the best hardware for this purpose 
and what distributions, if any, will support said solution "out of the box".

I currently have a D-Link DWL-120 which appears to use a Prism chipset. Despite claims 
that the open source Windows sniffers support USB/Prism. None of the sniffers 
recognize the device under windows although the network is working correctly. Is there 
some trick to this? I'd like to get the device (or another) to work under Linux and am 
unable to determine the correct driver for it or any other USB wifi device under 
Linux....

Are any of you using USB? If so, what? How easy/difficult was it to install.

Thanks in advance,
B
