Dynex PCMCIA WiFi (Best Buy house brand)

[john.martzouco]

Hi All,

I'm thinking of buying one of the following PCMCIA cards for my laptop for use with this distribution.

Has anybody tried any of these cards and with what results, good or bad?

I've checked the cards with the ndiswrapper list and the first card is listed there... but is the ndiswrapper in this distribution at a version level high enough to run the card?

Both cards are Best Buy house brands, one has higher rated speed than the other.

From my research, they are Atheros chipset. I also see good reviews from the Ubuntu users, but I don't know if that's pertinent for us.
