Wireless NIC compatibility

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone new what wireless network cards (PC) are most
compatible with RH 9.0.
I'm looking for one that requires the minimum set up/configuration as I am
still new to the linux world.

TIA
Dave

I use a Netgear MA401 card with RH9 on my IBM Thinkpad. Works perfectly
and install was minimal fuss; there were no additional programs, drivers
or patches that I needed to install. The cards are widely available and
not terribly expensive as wireless cards go.

Thanks,

I'm looking for a card for a desktop. Do you know if Netgear has a card
that uses the same chipset as the MA401?

TIA
