To save messing about with upgrading and still not being able toget a wireless adaptor to work, could anyone tell me if this adaptorwill work with Ubuntu 6.06 LTSIt's a PEAK 54Mbps.11g Wireless LAN USB2.0 Adapter.
That may be a after market card with a name brand chip set. Please see this linkhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
I've found through trial and error that Linux works automaticaly with wirelessadaptors with 'Atheros' chipsets. My son found a cheap usb adaptor at Walmartand it worked on his Dell laptop. I investigated & found it had Atheros chipset.I have 2 desktops with Ubuntu & found Airlink cards employ Atheros as well. Thecomputers saw them and did not need ndiswrapper or command line manipulation.
If you can get hold of 'Veho' wireless usb adapter - you should be fine.It was the only adapter I found that on the packaging expressly said Linuxsupported.Plugged it in and worked out of the box flawlessly including for WPAencrytion !
Peakhardware does reveal the chipset they are using in their wirelesscards. So, you should contact their support department and ask.<peakhardware.com/.../productlist.aspThen you could look for other products that use similar chipsets in thesupported hardware list.
