Hi, Peter. Another PGer here and, no, we aren't offended when somebody
calls our town a little small :) The Ubuntu community is global so you
will find us behind every tree and bush.

I have a Dell D610 Latitude laptop which has an Intel PRO/Wireless
2200BG network card. Works perfectly using the linux ipw2200 driver.

I have tried 2 already, a linksys WPC54G, and a netgear WG511, and I haven't been able to get either working under breezy.  So instead of trying to muck around too much, I figure that it would be easier just to get a new one, that will work nativly, or as nativly as possible under linux.  This is where I hope that the user base at large can help :), so on to the question, what card would be best to get, as plug and play as possible, and hopefully not requireing ndiswrappers?  Thanx for your time.
