So I've got this ancient pc. I'm running Linux mint off of a USB stick to try it out. I like it a lot, however. We don't have a wired connection in my house. Instead, we have 6 wireless routers. So I need to find a USB wireless card that is compatible with Linux/ndiswrapper. The only problem is…I haven't a damn clue what I'm looking for. I was hoping all you open source enthusiasts would help me convert over to Linux. I am looking for STABLE compatibility and a price under 40 dollars, the lower the better.
Wizzup?

If you find something
here that is also
here see what is said about it
here.
Do keep the receipt and (carefully opened undamaged) box and cross your fingers, as you can't be sure what version/chipset is in there until you just give it a shot.

If your USB wireless adapter doesn't work out-of-the-box, you can try ndiswrapper and use the windows driver for that adapter.. it doesn't work for all cards but will for most.

I would suggest doing this. It can be a little bit difficult if you aren't familiar or confident with linux.
