Does anyone know of any good Linux compatible internal or external Wi-Fi adapters? And while we're at it, why not a router too?

Well most adapters that use a realtek chipset will work.

I use the classic Orinoco cards - they all work really well if you can find one.

If you get an external bridge - they all will work, because they are seen as Ethernet adapters by the computer. Thus work with any OS.

Routers could care less what OS is connected.. they are independent devices.

You need to check the compatibility list for your distribution. There are quite a few cards that will work, but you will have to use a supported card if you want encryption. The router does not need any software on the pc, so it is platform independent.

you could do three simple things: 1.) navigate to the folder where the linux driver is and then run it (if you click placed > computer > then one of the hard drives (im not sure which one) it will take you to your C:\ drive on windows and you can find it from there 2.) just use a USB flash drive to transfer the driver 3.) plug the laptop directly into the internet router via ethernet and then update drivers

Anything prism or prism 2 based will work including Orinoco and Senao. Personally I prefer Senao as they have more power (sending power and receiving sensitivity).
