[edit] Wireless Network (802.11)

[edit] Atheros (madwifi) drivers. Supports 802.11a/b/g cards

Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/madwifi/
License:  Portions GPL, portions binary only.  (Redistribution OK)
FAQ:      http://www.mattfoster.clara.co.uk/madwifi-faq.htm
Requires Kernel Patch:  No.

Other issues:

This driver is in beta, and uses the device ath0 instead of eth0, which may break network configuration tools. I'm trying to build a minimodule for this, but I still have to figure out how.

[edit] Atmel drivers

Homepage: http://at76c503a.berlios.de/

License: GPL
Requires Kernel Patch: No.

Other issues:

This driver really should be included in the base kernel, IMHO. However, it is not, nor is it packaged for Debian or anything.

[edit] Winmodems

proprietary lucent and atheros (madwifi) drivers

[edit] NVidia Drivers

Moved to a seperate minimodule.
