[IMC-Tech] Looking for Ubuntu-compatible Wi-Fi Card 802.11b

[Gary Cziko]

Matt:


First of all, I should have said 802.11b, not 802.11g.

The two cards I have (a 3 Com and a Lucent Orinoco Silver) don't seem to
work at all (even under Windows). One was dropped, the other just seemed to
have died. So it looks like I will need another card.

Thanks for the info.
