  1. More Wireless Networking for Linux

    I was sent word that AbsoluteValue and Intersil have announced more development of wireless support for Linux. The announcement is actually for Intersil PRISM-based WLAN cards, but what it does mean is more support for IEEE 802.11 wireless cards, access points, etc. Here at Slashdot, we've been using the ZoomAir cards, but are starting to play with the Lucent cards - what does everyone else think about Linux and wireless cards?

  2. Ask Slashdot: Wireless LAN Options?

    fiji asks: "I am contemplating a wireless LAN for my house and was wondering if anyone had found a cheap, reliable, Linux solution. I have been looking at the Linux WLAN page and the ZoomAir cards but was a little put off because the price is $250 for the ISA and $230 for PCMCIA (at buy.com). Also the support matrix at the WLAN driver page shows the ISA as untested under Linux." Has anyone tested the ISA ZoomAir cards yet? What other driver options exist for Wireless LAN?

    kinzer writes " Mandrake has already submitted a comment about this, but it really needs front page notice to save folks from travel and schedule nightmares. The LINC conference in January is being merged into the LinuxWorld Expo conference in March. Anyone planning to attend the LINC show needs to review their schedule and travel plans. I repeat, the LINC conference in January is no more!"
