I have a question about a wireless card. My router is Linksys but can I buy a card that is made by a different company but is a Wireless G and opperates on the same frequency? Thanks.

I just use an Ethernet Bridge. Its compatable with just about every linux distribution because your tricking linux into thinking that your connecting to a LAN when you really are connecting to a WLAN |

Yeah put my cards installation CD is in .EXE form and since Linux doesn't use .EXE I don't know how to install it.

Read all the instructions. I haven't tested these out, but my friends using Fedora said it was great. Read all the instructions and follow what it says. I'll read it sometime later if I have time and will post about what you need to do. |
