OK, that being the case, can some one recommend a pci wireless
card that they know will work with cent os 4.4?
There's just been a discussion regarding pcmcia cards for linux; much of
the same applies to pci too.
One thing that works extremely well is an ethernet-wireles bridge - it
might be called a gaming adaptor, or similar. Plugs into your network
card & does the wireless thing. No driver required.
Brand and model information isn't very useful, vendors change the
chipset in a given model without notice, and that can mean no support.
Atheros-based cards work fine, but you need to either build the driver
yourself (easy), or download the drivers separately. It won't be part of
CentOS.
Thanks

Basically, what I'm trying to do, is to use a wireless router to
do what I would normally do with a wireless pci card.
you want a wireless ACCESS point (WAP) configured to be in CLIENT mode.
in that mode, it acts as a wireless -> ethernet bridge.
this functionality is generally missing from the prevalent integrated
all-in-one wireless 'routers'
