[oclug] wireless recomendations

[Phil Orpen]

I haven't messed around with many wireless devices in linux sadly... but
since the drivers are in the kernel, you might want to give this file a
read..

/path_to_latest_kernel_src/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig

The prism chipset looks to cover the most devices.. 

from linux-2.6 development tree:

config PRISM54
	Enable PCI and Cardbus support for the following chipset based cards:

	ISL3880 - Prism GT            802.11 b/g
	ISL3877 - Prism Indigo        802.11 a
	ISL3890 - Prism Duette        802.11 a/b/g

	For a complete list of supported cards visit <http://prism54.org>.
	Here is the latest confirmed list of supported cards:

	3com OfficeConnect 11g Cardbus Card aka 3CRWE154G72 (version 1)
	Allnet ALL0271 PCI Card
	Compex WL54G Cardbus Card
	Corega CG-WLCB54GT Cardbus Card
	D-Link Air Plus Xtreme G A1 Cardbus Card aka DWL-g650
	I-O Data WN-G54/CB Cardbus Card
	Kobishi XG-300 aka Z-Com Cardbus Card
	Netgear WG511 Cardbus Card
	Ovislink WL-5400PCI PCI Card
	Peabird WLG-PCI PCI Card
	Sitecom WL-100i Cardbus Card
	Sitecom WL-110i PCI Card
	SMC2802W -    EZ Connect g 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless PCI Card
	SMC2835W -    EZ Connect g 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Card
	SMC2835W-V2 - EZ Connect g 2.4GHz 54 Mbps Wireless Cardbus Card
	Z-Com XG-900 PCI Card
	Zyxel G-100 Cardbus Card


Fair chance you'll have to recompile the kernel anyway, so you might as
well point your browser to http://www.ca.kernel.org/ and "roll" one..

Good Luck!!
