tyme Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm trying to hunt down a PCI (preferred, but USB if I have to) wireless network card that is 802.11G and also supports WPA2, that will work in Linux. Anyone know of any good cards? I've been hunting the HCL lists and such...but I just don't have the time right now :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 I'm using a Linksys WMP55AG that works fine with ndiswrapper (on Mandriva 2006). Was a breeze to set up. I'm using WPA - Personal as they call it, not sure about WPA 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 You'll most likely use wpa_supplicant for the wpa stuff anyhow. I use this with standard WPA-PSK, but WPA2-PSK instead of using TKIP uses AES instead for the encryption. Hopefully wpa_supplicant would support that too for you and easy enough to configure providing of course your card supports it. My wireless point is Netgear, and I think their cards would be OK to use. I have minipci installed in my laptop, and so this is Atheros chipset based. These work with ndiswrapper really well - and easy to configure. Had it running in Mandy as well as Arch (even wrote the howto for it on the arch wiki).

tyme Posted September 26, 2006 Author Share Posted September 26, 2006 yeah, from what i've read wpa_supplicant supports WPA2 (i knew about the TKIP/AES stuff...hence why I went for WPA2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
