::: HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY :::
a)- Ethernet Card:
New Linux kernels are supporting wide variety of cards from
different manufacturers. Chances are good that once you install
Linux on your machine, your network will be automatically detected
and configured as eth0 but if things go wrong or if you want
additional information, you can check out:
http://www.faqs.org/docs/ethernet/Ethernet-HOWTO.html
b)- PCI to PCMCIA Converter:
If your machine is a portable one, then it is almost sure
that you have a PCMCIA slot which you can use to insert your wireless LAN card.
If you are using a desktop machine and your wireless LAN card is not a PCI card,
which is unlikely, then you need a PCI to PCMCIA Converter.
Below is a list of PCI to PCMCIA and some ISA to PCMCIA converters that
are known to work with Linux. Additional information about these converters can be
found at the following address:

c)- Wireless LAN Card:
Wireless LAN Card must be a one with a Prism 2/2.5/3 chipsets.
Below is a list of wireless cards that are known to have
a Prism chipset. This list is taken from /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf
While developing and testing AWLP, I am using Senao 2511 CD PLUS EXT2
Wireless LAN card, and I am very much satisfied with its transmit
power and receive sensitivity.
