I have a need for a Wireless adapter in a desktop box (PCI). Does anybody have any suggestions for the easiest way to fulfill this need? it'll be going into a customer's machine, so it shouldn't involve drivers that will have to be rebuild every time an errata kernel comes out.
I've been looking at the Netgear MA311, as it supposedly uses a Prism chip and is supported by wlan-ng. Has anybody used this card with RHL9?
I've got that same card. I've since moved the RHL9 machine it was in to a location accessible by wire, so it has been a month or two, but I never had any problems with it, and no custom kernel module building necessary. It is actually a Prism-II (er, 2.5, to be more specific) card, and definitely works with the orinoco_pci driver (the stock RH version of which is hacked to work with Prism-II cards; it doesn't have an orinoco chipset). The orinoco_pci driver is what I was using. I never tried wlan-ng, because I had no need, but I think either should work.
Oh, and this is NOT a multi-part message in MIME format. :)
