OK, so I went to one of the local computer outlets with my laptop with Mandrake
10.0 community on it and started shoving 802.11G PCMCIA cards in it. Not a
single one worked. I tried Linksys (Cisco) which it turns out was a broadcom
chip, Dlink and both types with stock and their proprietary 'enhanced' 802.11G
cards. WE ARE NOT AMUSED!
Yesterday was my birthday and I wanted to buy myself a present, namely a
wireless card, but I can't find one that works.
Does anyone know where I can find an 802.11G card that will work with Linux and
which ones will work? I decided to quit trying to do anything yesterday after
the PCMCIA situation and then I tried a USB printer. It printed the first job
and then started saying that the printer was not connected and refused to do
anything more. It's a good thing I don't drink... Maybe I should start.
Anyway, I want a portable printer and an 802.11G card that both work with
Linux. Any ideas?
Cheers!
Bob
