Wifi dongle
Bought an Eusso (No, I had never heard of them either) Wifi USB dongle.
Why?
It says "linux driver" on the blister
It's the cheapest 802.11g thing on the local ebay-like place
My ancient pcmcia 802.11b card sucks.
I am thinking of buying half a dozen more and getting rid of all the cables for all my boxes, all of Rosario's office and the guest computers (yes, I do have guest computers. They are there so my guests have their own computers :-).
Plugged it and it worked (ok, I had to install the zd1211 driver which took me 40 seconds). Only problem: it's hot. HOT.
So, need a USB/WiFi thingie that works well in Linux? You can do worse than this baby.
I've been using a zd1211 for months under Linux. ZyDAS did a great thing and released the source under a GPL license (I wonder if Atheros who recently purchased ZyDAS will keep doing this). The driver after being rewritten was merged into the 2.6.18 mainline kernel. For more info check out http://zd1211.ath.cx/
