I just bought a little cheap SMC 11Mbps card at microcenter for $35  and it
has a $25 rebate.  I thought 10 bucks wasn't bad for it.  Not sure if it
will work in linux though.  I have been using it in my wife's laptop.

and purchasing a wireless NIC PC card for it.  I'll probably try to install
SuSE Linux on it (because I've had good luck with SuSE installs in the

was wondering if anyone knows:
