Linux WiFi Support

I need to buy a USB Network adapter for a freeview box which displays
on a TV - unfortunately only a few are supported.

I would like to buy one that is supported by Linux if possible.

I've been away from Linux for about a year and have lost touch a wee
bit with developments.

Can anyone tell me if either of the following two USB network adapters
are supported?

Netgear MA101
D-Link DWL 120

Tch! A linux user who doesn't know how to google or STFW!

A quick search turned up
http://atmelwlandriver.sourceforge.net/howto/howto.html
http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.as...ral%20Wireless
so the answer would appear to be yes. You'll probably have to include your
distro name in the search to find more concise information pertaining to
your system.

Try here, tho' it's not an easily searchable list, it's still a good one:
