A recommended linux wireless usb adaptor
Hi guys, I've been a linux user for a day now and we are planning of moving from windows to gentoo.
unfortunately were having a heck of a trouble in configuring linksys wusb adaptor on our linux box. we got so tired of looking for any linux drivers or ndiswrapper blah for these critters but miserably failed.
does anyone know any network wireless usb adaptor /2.4ghz/802.11g from linksys or d-link or any network product makers that includes linux drivers on their boxed cd upon purchase?
were pathetic, need help.
