Ok, i'll try this one more time, this time in plain text and subscribed. Hi, everybody. I'm running fedora core 5, and soon, probably 6. I'm looking for a reliable wireless pci nic at a good price. The cheaper, the better, but i'm willing to pay up a little if it works perfectly, with a minimum of installation hassle. I prefer that it have excellent native driver support, but i'll live with it if it works with ndiswrapper. For security, it should support wpa-personal with tkip, at a minimum. I emphasize: i want it to work reliably; i don't want to have to mess around with dropped connections, flaky authentication, or whacked-out, time-consuming configuration or reconfiguration. I'm looking for as close to that happy::it-just-works experience as i can get. You boot it up, and, once (painlessly) installed and configured, it works without having to think about it. Ever. I have a couple of marvell chipset nics that used to work halfway decently with ndiswrapper, but something must've changed in the wireless extensions support, because now wpa-personal doesn't work with the wireless tools and/or ndiswrapper with these cards anymore in fc5, whether i use the rpm-packaged software or the latest-and-greatest from source. Transcieving in the clear is just not cool. So... what make/model should i buy? thanks in advance, - gabriel
