[KLUG Members] Wireless NIC recommendations.

[Adam Bultman]

I've been tinkering with Wireless here for a laptop I'm (hoping to) get
from work.  I've got a temp right now - a 233 - and I'm trying to get a
nic to work.  I had (as I posted previously) a linksys, that didn't work
right out. I took it back, and got a netgear -- a card supported by eithe
rlinux or the wlan project. This has problems, too. I've been told by my
roommate that buffalo cards are good, but what cards ARE good?  This one
works well, except for at sporadic times, I get a hundred or so of these
in my messages file:

eth0: Error -110 writing Tx descriptor to BAP


Then I have to pull the card out, put it back in, and then re-run my
wireless script (for WEP).

So, that's what I've got.  I'm thinking either orinoco or buffalo, but if
there are (ahem) good, cheaper ones in wide use, I'd like to hear
about them.

Thanks.
