I bought this cheap Blanc usb card and work right out of the box. No bad for
$14.00 bucks at a Mom and Pop computer store.
I know Broadcom is a big NO! Or any card with the Broadcom chip set. Belkin
can be a crap shoot. Any Intel brand works right out of the box. Mainly it is
the chip set that the card has. If there is a brand with the happy Linux logo on
it. It should be good to go.
