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.
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.
Atheros based cards work well. You'll need to install the madwifi-ng drivers for it. emerge madwifi-ng on Gentoo :-)
For a list of cards with this chipset see here http://customerproducts.atheros.com/customerproducts/
