Linux compliant wireless cards

Linux compliant wireless cards

Linux is a widely used and supported operating system, and there are many wireless cards that are compatible with Linux.

When choosing a wireless card for a Linux system, there are a few things to consider:

  1. Compatibility: Make sure that the wireless card is compatible with your Linux distribution and version. Some wireless cards may require specific drivers or firmware to work properly on Linux. You can check the hardware compatibility list (HCL) for your Linux distribution to see if the wireless card is known to work with Linux.

  2. Drivers: Check to see if the wireless card has Linux drivers available. Many wireless cards come with Linux drivers, or you may be able to find third-party drivers online. Some wireless cards may also work with the generic Linux wireless drivers, such as the iwlwifi driver for Intel wireless cards or the ath9k driver for Atheros wireless cards.

  3. Performance: Consider the performance and features of the wireless card. Some wireless cards may have better range, speed, or compatibility with certain wireless standards (e.g., 802.11n, 802.11ac).

Some popular wireless cards that are known to work well with Linux include:

  • Intel Wireless 7265
  • Intel Wireless 7260
  • Atheros AR9285
  • Ralink RT3090
  • Realtek RTL8188CE

Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and there are many other wireless cards that are compatible with Linux. It's always a good idea to do your research and read reviews before purchasing a wireless card for your Linux system.
