I'm thinking about getting new wireless wireless card for laptop.  But 
I'd rather have something that already has a driver distributed with 
Linux kernel, than something I need to compile/recompile every time 
kernel is upgraded (or god forbid use Windows driver).

The two I had my eyes on are Linksys Wireless-G (I'd prefer this one, 
provided there's native Linux support) and SMC2835W EZ Connect G 
Wireless.  Both are PCMCIA (Cardbus) cards.  Anybody using one of those 
two cards?  What drivers?  Will they "just work" when plugged into Linux 
box or do I need to download/compile drivers?

Any other recommendations for Wireless PCMCIA/Cardbus cards (as long as 
the card is "G" and driver is included with Fedora)?
