I actually looked around on the web and found a list of wireless cards that are well supported by Linux (specifically Fedora Core at the time). It is only 802.11b, but I haven't had trouble getting Linux to run it. As slow as my laptop is, my only concern was to get a 'G' card for the sake of running WPA wireless security rather than WEP. I am sure there are a lot of 'G' cards out there that are supported by Linux. I purchased an Iomega flash drive a few weeks ago that actually had a little Tux icon next to the usual suspects on the back. So, I am hoping more new equipment will be Linux friendly going forward. But as for most Linux hardware support, you can't go wrong looking for things that are a few years old. Good luck! I have a NetGear MA401 (802.11b).
