Which wireless card is best???

[Filipe Bonjour]

Hi,

I have a Dell Inspiron 9200 with a Dell wireless card (a 1450, not a 
1370) which is recognised as follows by "lspci -v":

0000:02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4309 
802.11a/b/g (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Dell: Unknown device 0003
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 32, IRQ 7
        Memory at faffa000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K]

Unfortunately, there's no Linux driver, so I have to use ndiswrapper. 
After some issues with the driver, I've had it working without any 
problem for a good long time (it's February, so since October 2005, it's 
been about 4-5 months).

But if you can get a card that has a native Linux kernel, all the better.

PS: The issues I had were that every time I tried to connect I got a 
failure to receive a DHCP offer from my WiFi router. This was under 
Fedora Core, and I was never able to fix it. Since I wanted to try 
Ubuntu anyway, I gave it up rather quickly.
