I have one computer that is using Linksys wmp 11 version PCI card for WIRELESS CONNECTIONTO THE INTERNET (wINDOWS xp). mY OTHER COMPUTER IS DUAL BOOT: wINDOWS xp -and Linux Red Hat version 8. What PCI card shouls I use that will work- with Linux (and Windows XP)- to connect via wireless to the Linksys access point. I am using Comcast for the broadband connection. Seems most companies do not have any hardware modems that permit wireless connection to the internet using Linux. I guess most people use dial-up.... Seems too slow, though. Thank you- Patrick O'Connell

Off hand I don't know of any either.

If you go to the websites for these products they provide driver downloads and you can see there if they have Linux drivers.

e.g. Try
Netgear, D-Link, Linksys, SMC, Orinoco, Belkin
