I have used all three under later versions of RedHat. In some cases easily, in some case with wailing and knashing of teeth. YMMV.

Hi,
     When I searched for the prices of these 3 cards,
I found under system requirements the following OS:
95, 98, NT, Me and 2000. I hope that the drivers for
Linux are readily available for these cards. I however
have a Orinoco RG-1000 as my access point. Will these
cards be able to communicate with the RG-1000? (maybe
with the security features turned off). Or do I need
an Access Point from the same company as the card?

Thanks,
rakesh
