Of course, known to work well with -current is a "need to have." Doug, I believe any Prism 2 or Prism 2.5 card (which includes cards from D-Link, Netgear, Intel, Intersil, and Linksys) should work well. I have not tried my Orinoco Gold card, but I am less confident of it. The D-Link DWL-650 (but not the 650+), the Netgear MA401, the Intel PRO/Wireless and the Linksys WPC11 are examples. I am currently using the Intel on my system. Of course, just about every vendor has some history of changing the chip used without changing model numbers, so there are no guarantees that you won't wind up with some mystery chip in a product that works for others.
