- great product for older laptop
I bought this card specifically for its Linux compatibility. I haven't been disappointed. It has a well documented and easily fixed error with Open SuSE (10.2 and 10.3) and works out of the box with Ubuntu (7.04,7.10,8.04,8.10) and Debian (Etch).

The Netgear MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card is great for Windows 95, NT, Linux and Macintosh operating systems. The reason is that there are no other wireless cards that I know of that have DRIVERS for the wireless card to operate with the other operating systems. Newer Netgear products will not work.

The MA401 has a 16 bit PCMCIA interface is great for some older laptops that will not support a newer 32 bit cardbus interface.

This is in addition to the fact the MA401 is built ... Read More
