I'm putting together a new system for my mother-in-law. I bought here a Dell Inspiron minitower computer with FreeDos and then put on openSUSE 10.3. I've got it mostly configured and ready to deliver however, I need to fix one final item...
She currently connects to the network (cable) via a wireless card in her Win98 machine.
I was just looking to see which wireless NIC I could buy for her and still be compatible with openSUSE.

Looking around I see Linksys and Belkin, neither of which I saw in the above page.
Anybody have any experience with this? I have only used wireless with notebooks and only Intel at that.
Since it's a tower case and not a notebook, is there any reason why ordinary ethernet can't be used? What card is used in the W98 box? Can it be used in the new system? Another thing you can do is see what cards are currently available and then do a google search on them & linux. For example, I just googled "d-link wda-1320 linux" and this turned up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211780 So, it would appear the D-Link WDA-1320 might be a good candidate. If you have a good computer store handy, drop in and look at the boxes. Some may say they support Linux. It also helps if you know a computer vendor who's knowledgeable about Linux. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
