Greetings - I'm getting ready to install ubuntu 5.10 on my powerbook G4 and I want to make sure I can still have wirelesss access. I'll go out and buy a usb wireless dongle since the airport extreme card still is not supported in linux. But, which one should I get? I searched through the forums a bit but I'm still not sure. Here's a few options that I'm looking at from some local stores:

D link DWLG122
Belkin Wireless-G USB 2.0 Network Adapter Model: F5D7050

Anyone know if either of these will work with ubuntu? Which USB dongle do you use?

I've heard of gentoo getting the airport extreme card to work in MOL and also getting it shared with linux. Wonder if anyone has it working in ubuntu?

Cheers
Mike

I found this page in the wiki:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards
and it looks like it'll answer my question!
