Find out if Linux supports your wireless card
by Victor Agreda, Jr. Apr 4th 2006
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]
