@deavmi when looking for wifi cards see if you can get ones which have open source drivers. Typically Atheros. -

@deavmi ok, just to give an idea of what sort of thing to get, otherwise you'll be spending time trying to get proprietary wifi to work -

@deavmi If you can find the chipset number you can confirm whether there's an open source driver, although that can be difficult -

@bashrc @deavmi because it's not usually advertised -

@deavmi you could get one and try it. If it works then order more.
