Linuxwireless.org: Misc drivers list, descriptions and howto's
http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Jean_Tourrilhes/Linux/ A really big list of wireless related things
HardwareComparison A list of wireless hardware with their linux driver name, also, misc useful information
A list to search your chipset model obtained from this list
Search your wifi driver on the SourceForge projects if you think that not exist any driver for linux for your card

Help us to complete this list !

Please add here all the useful information that help us not to waste our time

All testers can discuss and test these drivers at our Google Groups Testers Account

Use the command lshal > lshal.txt to have a lshal.txt file with the lshal result, and paste on the lshal important lines section only the important ones (don't flood us the site)
