Wireless Adapter Chipset Directory compiled by HJ Heins
Last updated on 25 April 2010
Now available: Wireless on Linux with full iee802.11a and ieee802.11n support on a PCI-express 1x card. Go to: Passys wireless. Speeds up to 450Mb/s supported.
This is an attempt to create a, more or less complete listing of wireless devices with information
about the chipset they are based on and whether or not they are supported in Linux.
The basis of this list came from
this list (thanks to AbsoluteValue Systems for the permission to use it!).
This list isn't complete, so if you have any information about a wireless card, its chipset
and whether or not it is supported, please drop me a line.
This list doesn't specify anything about how much of your card is supported.
So a card that only works without encryption is listed the same as one that also has
support for WEP/WPA. For the specifics about how much of your card is supported, please
refer to the driver page listed for your card.
Please note that this list does not mean anything for the support of a card in
Linuxant driverloader or
ndiswrapper. The list of cards
supported by ndiswrapper can be found here:
ndiswrapper wiki
This list is a work in progress, it should give you an indication of what is supported,
it is by no means guaranteed that it should work for you!
Please e-mail me your experience (remove the NOSPAM from the e-mail address).
