HCL= Hardware Compatibility List

Every OS(Operating System ) has one or most do anyway. If your looking 
for a WiFi (wireless) card or any hardware for that then you should 
consult the HCL before purchasing if you want to ensure little or no 
issues. Having said that not every HCL is up to date but often you can 
glean important clues from the HCL based on what's listed and how its 
supported, chipset etc...
