Second try sending.

You could always do what I did and have recommended here frequently: Google search for Linux wireless lan or wlan. These three will yield lots of info. I'm not sure how up to date the list is, but I found cards there they I could use. The Intel 2200 and 2915 in Centrino laptops work too. http://www.linux-wlan.org/ www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz the list www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/

It is so hard to find the right wireless card since manufacturers never seem to want to put the name of the chipset on the box. And once you have the shrinkwrap off the box, the computer store frequently takes a dim view of returns, especially when the reason is "An operating system with, officially, about 5% of the market, won't work with this card."

I guess what the KCLUG list really needs is a list of local stores which have a reasonable return policy that doesn't require the device to be completely non-functional (in a Windows box) to exchange it for another wireless card. It would be nice as well to have a link to a compact list of all the compatible wireless chipsets for loading into your PDA.

Yes ornico wireless cards are really nice, but again, hard to find the right chipset.
