Which USB wireless adapter for Linux laptop?

by Jay Garmon . Updated 20 years, 2 months ago

My company has lent me an old Compaq Armada M300 laptop to use as a test model for Linux. I’ve got Ubuntu Linux 5.10 running smoothly on the machine, and now I’d like to try my hand at making it wireless-ready. However, I have no budget for hardware upgrades–Linux is “free” after all–so any wireless add-ons will be out of my own pocket. I’d like my purchase to be reusable, so I’m thinking a USB adapter (I can keep it for my own use after the experiment is over).

So, does anybody know of an Ubuntu-supported USB wireless adapter, or, at the very least, one that will jive with ndiswrapper?
