Recent G-Card w antenna jack + linux support
Hi there,

i've been using an old "Gold" for some time now, and i plan to "upgrade" to a G-card. My problem is that i cannot decide which card is right...
"Have to"s:
+ Antenna jack (would be nice if this would be an Orinoco MC, but doesnt have to be)
+ 802.11g support
+ Almost native linux support, something like ipw2100 drivers would be ok (get the tarball, configure, make and ready. I don't want to have to "hack")

Ideas:
- Search function ;-) Found some information about the famous buffalo card (which has a jack, but has to be used with ndiswrapper -> evil), the newer orinoco cards 8470-wd (which causes problems with windows) and the prism54-family (which has nice drivers, but... see for yourself:

We have a problem. Manufacturers started buying the SoftMAC chipsets, which are not yet supported and may never be, as drop-in-replacements for the FullMAC chipsets without changing PCI IDs and apparantly sometimes not changing even the FCC ID. That said, you are better off first testing a card before buying it. If you can't test a card and want linux support, I can recommend you just not buy a prism 802.11g based chipset for now.

And this leaves me, again, with nothing... any recommendations / experiences?
