[olug] Wireless Card for my T40

[Jon H. Larsen]

Don't get the D-Link DWL-650+ (note the plus!)- it has the Texas 
Instruments chipset, and they won't cooperate with any driver writers....
(it's on special this week from Office Depot)

The orinoco drivers are included with the linux kernel, I would get a card 
that works with them.
--begin code snippit--
/* orinoco.c 0.13d      - (formerly known as dldwd_cs.c and orinoco_cs.c)
 *
 * A driver for Hermes or Prism 2 chipset based PCMCIA wireless
 * adaptors, with Lucent/Agere, Intersil or Symbol firmware.
--end code snippit--

Or -

You can go another route and install other drivers:
http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/

Cards are listed on the above listed site that are known to work with the 
linux-wlan-ng drivers.

Redhat RPMS for wlan-ng - read the instructions carefully:
