What wireless cards work with FC4 out of the box? I'd rather not have

Thank you, I really appreciate your help
I've had good success with
Cisco Aironet 340 and 350
SMC2632W V.2
Intel Centrino, AKA Pro/Wireless 2100 and 2200
But there are lots of others, so wait on everyone else's responses ...
You should also check the list archive, since this issue comes up a
lot. The easiest one to use is at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=fedora-list&r=1&w=2
After doing some research I discovered all I had to do was install the
firmware with yum. (yum -y install ipw2200-firmware)
Why doesn't Fedora install this with the distribution? If the driver is
in the kernel, why isn't the firmware on the CD? Might I suggest that
this bit of knowledge be put on the Unofficial Fedora FAQ? I actually
tried to contact that FAQ, but the link for contributing doesn't seem to
work. The "Email me" link on the FAQ doesn't point to an email address,
just a page with no useful contact info.
Thanks for the help.
