Of all those currently sold, the NetGear MA311 PCI card for PC still uses the

the Netgear MA411. Both Netgear and Linksys Wireless Access Points work fine
with these cards. BTW, be sure to use encryption or your neighbor could be
using your internet access. Especially if you have DHCP running.
A problem with the current crop of cards is that the 54GHz versions are
selling, pushing out the older cards. The chipsets used in these new cards
either doesn't exists or is of limited functionality.
There is a shill floating around the mail list pushing a commerical product
that might work. I just don't like paying for SW when I don't have to.
That's one reason why I don't use M$.

I plan to use wireless network with my Fedora Core 1 at home. I got two
PC in my home, one used by my wife is a laptop with winxp, the other

my home and connect to internet by ADSL.
So, it seems that I need a wireless access point with ADSL and a
wireless pci card. Is there any suggestion about purchase a wireless pci
card for my fedora? I usually find buy a hardware for linux need more
attention.
Thanks for any suggestion!
