WifiWifi drivers are hit-and-miss on Linux.
They are well supported and you should not encounter any issues with them. Realtek is also a good brand for Network/Wifi controllers too, with good support on Linux. ZyDAS ZD1211 based wifi controllers are also pretty good, with no proprietary firmware inside.
and they also don't work well. b43 and b43legacy support some broadcom chips and if you are lucky, they should work out of the box. Good news tho, Cypress Semiconductor bought Broadcom's Wifi portfolio and recently opened up docs for some chips. We'll see how it goes.
Please, avoid using Intel PRO/Wireless series and replace them with something else like Atheros. |
