Wireless hardware for Linux is a moving target. The wireless network adapter that worked fine with Linux yesterday may be released with an unsupported radio chipset today, and with no indication of the change. So buyer beware–always confirm the chipset before you buy. The good news is a lot of wireless adapters have native Linux support, and for those that don’t, the NdisWrapper utility lets you use the Windows drivers on your Linux box.
