8/1 Any recommendations for an excellent 802.11 cardbus card for linux?
\_ Netgear MA-401. Works perfectly on FreeBSD w/ my dell laptop.
\_ Thanks.
\_ Oh yeah, if you order before early September (I think)
from http://NewEgg.com there's a $10 rebate.
\_ Cool, thanks again.
\_ That card is 802.11b. Any recommendations for 802.11g,
or is "g" overkill or not standardized yet or something?
\_ Linksys 54G is ok--the one I have came out before the
standard was finalized, and FreeBSD <5.0 doesn't support
the card. -John
\_ Does the antenna detach from the card w/o taking the card
out of the PCMCIA slot?
\_ go g if you can afford it. it's backwards compatible and
will be much faster when it becomes standard. of course,
if you just have dsl and use the wireless in your home or
in internet cafe's, any speed above 100KB/s is not needed.
\_ Who has only 100kb/sec on their broadband?
\_ He said 100KB/s, not kb. But a large portion of the
dsl lines get ~150KB/s.
\_ Does any companies other than 3com make a 802.11g CardBus
card with a retractable antenna? I can't find any info on
Linux drivers for the 3CRPAG175
\_ I get cruddy reception with both of my MA-401. The built-in
on my laptop gets better receptions. |
