I am looking for a new wireless card for my computer. After a horrible
experience with my current one while trying to migrate from WinXP to
FC5 last year, I gave up and went back to Windows.
I want to give it a try again, but this time I want to make sure I am
buying a card that works solid, out of the box, with FC6 (64bit).
Suggestions?
By the way, the card I currently have is a Gigabyte WPKG with a Ralink chipset.
I threw everything at it and the kitchen sink for a month
(the manufacturer's Linux drivers, the ones on sourceforge, ndiswrapper,...).
Mind you I consider myself knowledgeable enough.
I administer an entire Linux cluster at work, and have had success with
the wireless in my notebook on a PCMCIA card with ndiswrapper,
but this thing just refuses to work.
It is a shame because it happend at a time when I resolved to ditch MS
completely from my life and had to come running back to it.
This is really bad for Linux if it happens to users on a regular basis.
