have a look through there.

I'm presently running a D-Link DWL-G520. Works out of the box with breezy.

I don't know, since mine doesn't work well...but pay attention to the revision of the card, especially with D-link cards, as they change chipset.

I got a DWL-G610 and a DWL-520+ and both don't work out of box with Breezy per se, but they don't want to obtain an IPv4 IP, instead they love IPv6. :-(

Nick-

I am pretty sure that any card with the RT2500 chip will work, mine (PCI not PCMCIA) worked out of the box just had to enter my essid, wep etc info and was online.

Cheers Ogre
