Wireless Card Suggestions
I have recently switched to Fedora Core 4, only to find that my net card no longer works. I am looking for a new net card (I would like USB, but PCI would work too) that works right out of the box. No compiling, no ndiswrapper, none of it. So does anybody have any suggestions?

any card that has the prism II chipset they seem to work right out of the box. i have two notebooks one running fedora core 4 and the other slackware 10.1
btw i have the old style SMC 2623W PCMCIA card. not sure if the new ones have the prism II chipset or something newer.

The Netgear MA311 PCI card is what I've had for quite a while now, and it seems to be supported by pretty much every (newer) distro out of the box.
There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX. We don't believe this to be a coincidence.

If you need features such as wpa or 802.11g go for any card with an atheros chipset, and yes the drivers are open source how ever the firmware for the card that resides on the system is not.

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but I finally got my current card to work again.
(I learned that kernel modules don't compile very well with SELinux enabled.)
