I plan on dual booting, so I'd like to get a card that is linux compatiable, and from what I've read here the orinoco cards are not. Can someone confrim/deny this?

This is the wrong forum, but are there any glassmount antenna options?

Thanks for your time.
a USB adaptor is the best bet for a car. you don't have to buy expensive, bulky RF antenna cabling...instead, you can use a USB cable to run the adapter to near the window, and then use a short pigtail to connect to the antenna.

orinocos have plenty of support in linux.
