The only one I know of remains the Buffalo that I already own. There is no native Linux driver for it.
So what?
Use driverloader by linuxant or ndiswrapper.
Even when you THINK you have a native linux driver you don't because you don't have source code to the radio control, and probably will never have it.
For some reason every time I try to get NDISwrapper running it trashes my Suse setup.
The fewer code kludges the better.
Is the Buffalo truly unique in the pcmcia wireless g nic marketplace?
Part of this is the newness to wireless to Linux in general and the nature of the SuSE setup, which only started handling wireless well in 9.1. I use Driverloader (conexant.com) and have since suse 8.2 and find it works well. At that time ndiswrapper was imature and buggy. It may be better now, I have no reason to even test it. Driverloader works perfectly. You DO have to understand a little bit about how configures nics so that you know where your settings are going. Yeah, driverloader cost me $19 bucks. You may choose to call it a code Kludge. I call it running the software that was designed for the card by the card manufacturer. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
