RE: wireless LAN for Linux

I have used Cisco 340 and 350 series cards w/o issues with RH9 and SuSE 7.2. But you will have to pay the Cisco premium. The PCI card I bought for my desktop cost me around $200.

So far I have looked at the D-Link 520+ (apparently based on a proprietary Texas Instruments Chip) and the Linksys WMP11 (these *used* to use prism 2, but now use a currently unsupported Broadcom chip set.) This pretty much takes care of the offerings at Best Buy and Micro Center. If anyone has had any luck with wireless PCI (or USB hardware) under linux I would love to know. Any adivice where to find this stuff in Chicago (and price paid) would also be appreciated.

Wireless and RedHat 9

Hello everyone, I am having problems with my wireless card under RedHat 9 on my laptop. It works fine initially but then just stops working after a random amount of time. I can restart the networking by typing "/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart" but it dies again after a little while. Everything worked flawlessly in RedHat 8.0. I am using an Orinoco gold card. Any help would be appreciated.

Word diff?

I discovered a wdiff ("word diff") that showed the changes in words between two files. Here is the word-diff comparing the 1.1 and 1.2 of the GNU Free Documentation License: http://people.debian.org/~branden/fdl/fdl-1.1-to-1.2.wdiff How does one create a wdiff? I use version 2.7 of GNU's diff program but I didn't see a compare-by-word option in its man page. Do I need another program? -- Kevin Conder, kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ______________________________________________________________________ Linux Users Of Northern Illinois - Technical Discussion luni@xxxxxxxx http://luni.org/mailman/listinfo/luni
