Belkin Hardware compatability???

[bob58]

Hello....I am going to be buying a WIRELESS ROUTER & PCMCIA CARD for my Gateway laptop. I run KNOPPIX v. 3.7 ...I shopped around and for about $70 LINKSYS has a combo pcmcia wireless card and wireless/wired router that BEST BUY sells as a kit.
I was also in HOME DEPOT and noticed they have a selection of network hardware, namely BELKIN for a decent price. My question is, has anyone had any luck getting a BELKIN wireless router and pcmcia card to work with knoppix on laptop? ? ? ? ?

i have a older 11Mb belkin working great on a laptop.
the accespoint is not that important, but some WEP settings... migt be troublesome (i have read about them but not experienced).

It's not the brand that you should be researching for compatability, it is the chipset of the device. Do a bit of googling and there exists a large chipset-linux compatability chart.
