Hello,
I'd like to get a Wireless PCI Card for my Linux system.
I'd like it to support WPA2 and also be Wireless G. I am currently
using Debian, but this is a new system, so I'm perfectly willing
to switch to another distribution if necessary. I'm willing to
try new things if it'll make it easy to get a working wireless
card. =)
Can anyone suggest a card to get? Thanks!
I am suitably impressed with the bcm43xx driver--I've been using it with
the Airport Extreme card in my PowerBook G4.
I've used it too, with the AirForce One 4318 in my Acer laptop, but I
can't get it to do WEP, and it seems to cause some system instablity.
In the archives of this list (and those of debian-laptop) you'll find
that others (e.g Freddy Freeloader) have had even more difficulty with
it, so at the very least YMMV with bcm43xx.
FWIW, I am using it just fine with WPA-Enteprise. It seems to like
disconnecting every 90 minutes or so, but this kernel is a touch out of
date (2.6.18-4-powerpc). It's not a huge deal however, because
NetworkManager usually reconnects it right away.
The driver is new and as such is actively developed. I would imagine
there's a world of difference in the most recent versions.
