I have a Dell Latitude C600 (1GHz) and I would like to know any recommendations for a wireless (802.11g) PCMCIA card. I'm running Ubuntu Linux 5.10, kernel version 2.6.12.

Thanks.

Check this list out: http://madwifi.org/wiki/Compatibility

I recommend the Atheros chipset, good for cracking your neighbours WiFi for some extra torrent sessions (For downloading stuff like Diggnation and of course new Linux distros).

I'm going with the D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g Wireless Card (Model: DWL-G650)
which has the Atheros chipset. It's supported under MadWiFi, Linux-wlan-ng drivers and the ndis-wrappers. And I also hear that its supported under Ubuntu "right out of the box". So... it looks safe to try.

Yeah I was going to say that I've actually tested that card myself, a friend of mine has it, great card!
