[NTLUG:Discuss] Wireless with Linux

[terry]

I'm using a Wet11 and works fine, but then, any bridge or access point 
is going to be fine because your basically just accessing a standard 
network interface via ethernet.  I've also used a LanReady PCI adapter & 
a LanReady PCIMCA adapter and they both worked ok, (The LanReady devices 
use RealTek chips.)
