Stay away from 802.11g for now.

I have a Hawking PCI 802.11b, I cannot find the model, and a Belkin
F5D6001 ver. 2101 that both work with the ADMtek drivers.

Here is a really good list to check.

Subject: [TCLUG] What PCI wireless card works for you?

Happy Hollidays!

I want to build my own wireless router/wireless access point [1]. I will
use a compaq small form factor PC as it is very compact and quiet (it
has a single fan!). It has two PCI slots: one of them will hold a SUN
quad fast ethernet NIC and the other will have a wireless PCI card.

Now the question: what PCI wireless card do you use and recommend?

Looking at http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html and doing a
grep on PCI and Linux|wlan, then subsequently corroborating that with
pricewatch I narrowed the list down to two: Netgear MA311 and Linksys
WMP11. I've googled [2] for those and found that they work.

Does anybody else have any other suggestion?

Thank you,
florin

[1] I am fed up with the limited web interface and clunky telnet
interface on my router. b) I want to use it as a quiet mail|web|dns
server.

[2] Yes, I know its a nonword.
