I've asked this on the RHEL5 list, but the answer may be different here, 
and I will most likely be using Tikanga-clone.

It seems I may need a PCI wireless card for a time. What models (and 
revisions) are known to work easily with RHEL5.

It used to be prism54, but there was a chipset change and the new one 
didn't work back then. Then the website went bizarre, and besides the 
chipset wasn't popular with vendors and so devices were hard to find.

I know Atheros-based devices generally work, but one needs to add 
non-standard kernel modules. Dlink uses Atheros.

TI was no-go. Dlink uses them too, about as often as Atheros.

Broadcom was no-go, but I gather some (at least) work now.

What's the latest?


To be clear, I'm not talking laptops. Standard PC kit with PCI slots.
