[ale] Wirless NIC Advice

[Robert Coggins]

I just bought a little cheap SMC 11Mbps card at microcenter for $35  and it
has a $25 rebate.  I thought 10 bucks wasn't bad for it.  Not sure if it
will work in linux though.  I have been using it in my wife's laptop.

and purchasing a wireless NIC PC card for it.  I'll probably try to install
SuSE Linux on it (because I've had good luck with SuSE installs in the

equipment in the past and this is the cheapest) MA521 (802.11b) ($45) and
was wondering if anyone knows:
