While I am at it, I am also considering getting a new wireless card for my D600 laptop to at least augment the internal b43-legacy supported Broadcom 43xx card that generally works, but is also a pain to keep working. While it's easy to find a USB Wireless card, I'm not really interested in them - the form factor is generally prone to breaking and my D600 laptop only has two USB-ports (its main flaw), one of which I use for a USB mouse when its not in the docking station - when it is, I can't use either as they are both in the back and blocked by the docking station - so a USB wireless is kind of problematic as I would then have to take it out to dock the laptop (undesirable to say the least). So that leaves me with using one of the open PCMCIA card slots. I have two wired PCMCIA adapters, useful mostly for multi-network and diagnostics; so the slots are open. I'd like to keep the cost down - $50 USD or less; and am pretty open to different brands. However, I've found the lookups - at least linuxwireless.org - to be a little troublesome in identifying to actual cards, so I'm looking for some good recommendations. Thus far I've looked at: Cisco-Linksys WPC600N Cisco-Linksys WEC600N Cisco-Linksys WPC300N But I haven't been able to determine if they are supported under Linux. Open to other suggestions too - so long as PCMCIA compatible. Thanks, Ben
