[NTLUG:Discuss] wifi

[jm]

i have a linksys befw11s4 wireless broadband router that i would like to 
connect to via wifi rather than the wired connection i have now.  i 
borrowed a linksys wmp11v4 card to trial, downloaded the driver from 
linuxant and haven't gotten it working as of yet.

what i would like to do is get a wifi pci card, recognizable by mandrake 
9.2, that will work with the linksys router.  i'm thinking the right 
channel/freq/etc. should allow any card to work with any router but i 
don't want to make that assumption without more information.

any suggestions on specific cards that would work "out of the box"?
