best wireless card for debian

[Shri Shrikumar]

Hi all,

I recently purchased a dlink DWL 520+ card which uses the TI acx100
chipset which so far only has binary drivers and it has not managed to
work yet and I intend to put it on a server without module support. This
leads me to the question.

Which is the best card that I should go for for native linux support. I
need 22mbps and am in the UK. Somewhere around £40 is fine.

Thanks for your time,


Shri

If you look at linksys, make sure you check the version number on the
box. the linksys WPC-11 is now being sold with version 4 which is NOT
a prism2 chip but a realtek chip. drivers are available but i just has
a terrible time getting it to work.
