It's Compusa 54 MB 802.11g wireless PCMCIA card.

Sorry, but your 802.11g card is most likely a doorstop.

I purchased a Compaq laptop and it came with one of the Broadcom chip sets. I had to use ndiswrapper and wpa-supplicant. I'm running it at 54M (which is most definitely 802.11G). I'm certain it's working and I know a thing or 2 about networking. ;-) I build'em for a living.

I'd better know they're not small networks, big ones for large companies but nothing as big as needing an access of OC-192 but anything less. Maybe in a couple of years. :-)

Most current cards will indeed work (maybe only sort of) with ndiswrapper. I've seen a recent report that, with one card, not everything worked.

I have built-in Atheros in my new laptop. I installed FC5 beta, decided Ireally don't want to muck around with drivers any more, and installed SUSE 10 where the wireless just works.

Otherwise, I'd have had to hunt down the madwifi drivers, build them, maintain them myself (unless I can find a third-party site providing prebuilt drivers and I figure FC5 might be a little new).
