Is there an 802.11b wireless PCMCIA (32 bit cardbus) network adapter that will work 'out of the box' that I can buy right now (without any chipset problems to worry about, I mean)?
I've got an Orinoco Gold 802.11b card. It's truly plug and play under Red Hat 9. http://www.proxim.com/products/wifi/client/11bpccard/index.html
I've heard the Netgear MA401 works as well but I don't have any experience with it. They key is the Prism chipset.
Here's a site with some more information about wireless on Linux in general: http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/

I would like to just plug this thing in and set up a WEP key and sign on to the internet from a T-Mobile Hotspot. I guess I'm confused about just how to get this going in Red Hat 9. Or maybe I'm not supposed to be using WEP keys with T-Mobile.
Thanks a lot!

regarding wep and t-mobile hot spots, unless they provide you with a key, you should not use wep. i would expect they would use 802.1x certificate authentication.
