I do have a wireless access point so can anyone recommend a PCI wireless network card that will work with Linux (Debian Etch/Testing) without a lot of messing about.
One of my old machines had a Netgear WG311 v2 which just worked, in fact Ubuntu detected it during installation and prompted for keys etc.
Sorry not sure what chipset as that machine has gone now.
I don't want to use the software, the name escapes me, that uses Windows drivers as I've had problems using that in the past.
ndiswrapper ?
Yes good plan, ndiswrapper is handy when you already have the wrong hardware and for whatever reason can't/won't change it. But if you are purchasing new hardware then going for stuff that is compatible with native drivers is a far better plan.
