I have a Dell Latitude C640 laptop [1] that I would like to get hooked to the network via wireless. Any recommendations for good PCMCIA WLAN cards (802.11b/g/a)that are Linux-compatible as well (native drivers that is)? How would I configure the wireless interface in /etc/network/interfaces?
I'm very happy with my D-link AirXpert DWL-AG650. It supports a,b and g and there are native open source linux drivers from the Madwifi project. Anything with the Atheros chipset is supported.
You have to compile the drivers yourself and you should be comfortable with compiling your own kernel.
Some nice danish guy put up a page and some packages for building the drivers as debian packages.

Were you able to compile the .debs? I could not. It just ran and ran untill it caused my box to run out of memory. Using Sid here. I did get it to work buy getting the cvs and make, make install.
P. S. Sorry Alex for sending this first to you directly, my mistake. -- Damon L. Chesser [EMAIL PROTECTED]
