Hopefully this isn't too dumb a question, but rather than buy a wireless
(802.11b) device and then see whether I can get it working with Linux, I'd rather find out what works first of all... So, what wireless (USB / PCI) devices are easiest to get working under Linux, in particular Debian and Knoppix? Thanks Pete |
