wireless with atheros
in [Debian]

From: Daniel Dalton on 29 Jun 2008 03:20 Hi, I'm looking to buy an atheros wireless card for my laptop. It has a pcmcia card slot on it... (I use debian and a 2.6.25 kernel as well) So could someone please see if they could show me an online add of an atheros pcmcia card supported by linux? (and postage to Australia) Perhaps on ebay. I would do it myself, but I have no idea what I am looking for...

I have a DWL-G650 by D-Link which has an atheros chipset and which works fine. It was not so difficult to install, too. I hope, that will help you.

I know it's something else to carry and dangle and lose, but it's an option. Now, while we're on the subject, what's a good wireless USB adapter that supports the N standard and works with Debian?

But they have a Ralink chipset, so I don't know if you will like them. Nice greetings Richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

AFAICT, Atheros is Atheros. For what it's worth, I'm using a Netgear WG511T and it works great for me. It replaced some barely supported wifi card that I managed to snap in half when the antenna sticking out of the card slot hit the end of a door I walked too close to (a fitting ending for hardware with poor Linux support). -- Paul Johnson baloo(a)ursine.ca
