I have an Avaya World Card which has worked perfectly for years with all successive versions of Redhat and Fedora, and all Linux kernels, with the standard orinoco_cs driver. This is a PCI-to-PCMCIA bridge, with an Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card (802.11b) in it. It's always worked "out of the box" for me with every distribution - Knoppix, SuSE, Fedora, Windows-2k, etc, that I have tried. My advice would be to try to find a card that works with the drivers provided with the kernel. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
