Depending on the distro u use, wireless is fairly easy to get going. The Dlink PCMCIA card for some reason I could not get working and it has a prism chip but the others actually fire right up on PCLOS (MDK based distro) and did so in Mandrake as well. Demudi even configured my Prism based card on its own. R~
