Hi Jay
Thanks for the response. It does not have to be USB but I would prefer it to be USB. I found this wireless linux site:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Devices/USB
which lists a number of USB wireless devices as being supported. Is this not the case? Am I reading the list incorrectly?
Maybe the USB support is something new to the 2.6.23 kernel. The home page for linuxwireless has the following news blurb dated Oct 10, 2007:
"Linux 2.6.23 was released today. On the wireless front, a variety of fixes and improvements were contributed all over the place. The biggest news items are the inclusion of the rtl8187 driver, which supports USB devices based on the RTL8187 chipset, and zd1211rw enhancements to support devices based on the Atheros AR5007UG USB chipset."
Which PCMCIA wireless adapter would you recommend?
Thanks Marv
Marv,
Does it have to be USB? USB wireless, for the most part is unsupported in Linux. As far as the PCMCIA cards most are supported with at least using Ndiswrapper.

I would like to purchase a wireless router and wireless USB adapter for my laptop. Does anybody know of a USB adapter that is supported by Core 7 right out of the box?
Thanks a bunch Marv

I have a 3com 3CRUSB10075 with the zd1211rw chipset and when I last tested it worked quite well (it was around F7 release).
