I know, you rock the Linux and love it, but when
you go to CompUSA (horror), it's nigh impossible to tell if the dazzling array of wireless doodads will rock your
laptop... Gotta love that driver conundrum, huh? Well search no more. Actually, search more, since there's now a sort
of centralized search tool for finding out what wireless cards are compatible
with Linux. To say it's exhaustive is to belittle the effort that went into this. It's incredibly thorough.
Products are listed by manufacturer, then WLAN type, then product ID, and so on. There are links (when available) to
the appropriate drivers, because I can count on one hand the number of manufacturers that ship Linux drivers with their
cards. So shop with confidence, and stay away from my unencrypted home network.[Via digg]

Thank you for information. I had a big problem with my laptop when I tried to setup a wireless card. I love Linux and hate Windows. But I couldn't find any drivers for my wireless card. Now I changed card to another and it works excellent.

Which Linux do you mean? Which version? And which model your wireless adapter? I had no any problem with Red Hat Linux and many laptops with wireless adapter.
