[NBLUG/talk] Best wireless card

[Todd Cary]

Mark -

After Ghosting my Win 2K on my notebook, I tried installing Fedora 3.  
The install went flawlessly except for the Wireless card.  I have the 
same problem with Knoppix (latest), so it appears to be a problem with 
the Linksys v4 card.

Another question: Have you had any experience with gnome-vfs2-ntfs?  
This is suppose to allow seamless browsing of NTFS networked workstations.
