Please recommend a wireless G Card

[Home]

Hello,

I'm new to the list.

My question is very basic.

I want to try out Linux again (I ran Red Hat about five or six years
ago and gave up on it for compatibility reasons). I've been running
Windows ever since.

I want to try out Ubuntu on an older Compaq laptop that lacks an
Ethernet port. I have a Notebook Network Card (PCMCIA) from Belkin
(F5D5020) but no Linux installer (I've ever tried) recognizes it,
which makes the computer virtually useless. (I can't access the
Internet once Linux is installed.)

I also have a Wireless Notebook Network Card (F5D7010) from Belkin
(Wireless G), which I have never successfully fired up via Linux. I
probably just run out of patience.

So... my question. What Wireless G card (PCMCIA) can I use that Ubuntu
will *effortlessly* (or nearly so) recognize during install? I'm
willing to go out & buy it so that I can avoid all the fiddle faddle.
(Since my last Linux foray, I have installed three children into my
Life, which is still in BETA.)

Patrick
