Hello --

I'm looking to buy a wireless card for a Dell laptop running Red Hat 9.  
I've tried a Cisco Aironet 350, and it won't work.  (by "work" I mean my 
users' defination of work, not mine.  It needs to plug in and be 
configurable 100% by redhat-config-network-gui.)

Does anyone have a solid suggestion?  I know that cards based on the 
orinoco chipset *should* work, as should intersil cards.  What I need is 
a brand/model.  I'm going nuts looking through resellers' sites trying 
to figure out what card is based on what chipset.  It's maddening, in 
fact. 

Thanks,

Aaron
