I think it must be greek, because I know its not Spanish. I can understand one or two words of Spanish, and I didn't understand not a single word.

Unfortunately, this sometimes comes down to the implementation. And one version of a card might work, where the same model, different version does not. <a href="http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters.html.gz" rel="nofollow">Here is a list</a> of cards that work with a particular driver. As you can see it is pretty comprehensive. The best bet is to find a card you are interested in and then search around to see what others say about it in Linux. And remember that while one distro will automatically recognize and configure a card, the next distro may not. Ubuntu and Kubuntu are examples of that. Just recently I was in on a discussion where the person had their card configured automatically with Ubuntu, but could not tweak Kubuntu enough to make it work.

I now have a Windows machine that could be made Linux, but I need a good Linux compatible Wireless adapter... any ideas or know a nerdy type that you could ask.
