If you are buying a new computer, it is best to select one with a wireless component that is designed for free software like Linux. A card designed for free software gives you improved support. Free software compatible devices also work out of the box.

The Free Software Foundation recommends a few chipsets including: Ralink 2500/RT2400 (802.11G), Realtek RTL8180 (802.11G), and the Atheros AR9170 chipset (802.11N).
ThinkPenguin.com Currently is the only company offering a 802.11N USB card with the AR9170 chipset that guarantees free software compatibility. Also available are MiniPCI wifi cards for laptop computers and USB Bluetooth adapters to connect Bluetooth wireless devices.
Passys sells a PCI card that is Linux compatible (although not free software compatible) for desktop computers.
Wikipedia has additional information on which chipsets and drivers are free software compatible if you would like to hunt down a card on your own.

Some other cards are Linux compatible, but not free software compatible. These usually work, but in some cases may not.

Even if your wireless card does not have a driver designed for Ubuntu, you may be able to get it to work using NDISWrapper and a Microsoft Windows driver. This comes at the expense of functionality and reliability. If you get this method working your Internet connection will most likely be very unstable.

Wireless Cards

To determine what wireless card/chipset you have, first determine whether it is a separate device plugged into the computer or not. If it is a separate device, open up a terminal and type the following:

lsusb

and look for words like wireless, etc. to find your card type.

For chips that are not separate parts but included in the computer, type:

lspci -v

and read the last section.

By Card

Please take a moment and add your card to the wiki if there isn't a page on that device yet. Its very simple, follow format of template but don't put too much worry here in following a guideline. It will be cleaned up if needed. It's more important to document your experience for others. To create a page, simply enter the model # and version in the box ex.. dwl-g650vB5 and then click on the Create Device Page button. If there is a page on your device already, open up and add your comments/experience to the existing page.

A list of supported cards can be found in the chart above

-When selecting a card it is best to choose one that is designed for free software. Free software is different than something given to you without charge. A card designed for free software gives you improved support under Linux. It results in long-term support becoming possible and eliminates the need to follow a complicated set of install instructions. Free software compatible devices work out of the box. A card which is merely listed as being Linux compatible may not. Loss of support for Linux compatible devices which are not free software compatible is also all too common.

 Line 9:
-If you find that your device is supported by a driver included with Ubuntu, but the driver is not loaded automatically, please see ReportingBugs to file a bug with Ubuntu. These are easy to fix.
+Some other cards are Linux compatible, but not free software compatible. These usually work, but in some cases may not.
 Line 11:
-Wireless support varies with architecture. For example, on the x86 (PC) architecture, you may be able to get some cards not designed or compatible with Linux to work using [[http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/|NDISWrapper]] and a Microsoft Windows driver. This comes at the expense of functionality and reliability. If you get this method working your Internet connection will most likely be very unstable. 

On other architectures (some netbooks, tablets, and other devices) a native free software Linux driver is necessary. The AR9170 chipset is one such chipset which works with other architectures. A USB card with this chipset is available from [[http://www.thinkpenguin.com/catalog/networking-modems|ThinkPenguin.com]].

Many lists exist online which suggest you can use a model number to purchase a Linux compatible device or computer. These lists are unreliable sources of information as many of these manufacturers do no support Linux and will change chipsets without notice and without changing the model number. Many of users have found out the hard way that the device which was suppose to be freedom or Linux compatible came with a completely unsupported chipset. This includes the list below. Use at your own risk.

''This page is currently undergoing a reformatting and you are welcome to help out.  As you can see, the cards are being reorganized by Manufacturer and the links to the card types are being served up on this page.  As the cards are added to their Manufacturer's Page, they are getting removed from this page. When contributing any information, please put in the exact model code/identifier where possible.''.
