[NBLUG/talk] Wireless networking on Linux, finally revisited

[Tom Duffy]

I have had the best luck with Atheros chipset wireless NICs.  I know 
that Intel based wireless NICs run well also.  Avoid Broadcom.  Even 
though many of them can be made to work in Linux, it's more hassle than 
it's worth.
