Very Computer

I'm trying to install a mini-LAN in my home with three computers. I
would prefer a wireless LAN, but the solutions I've found either don't
work with Linux or are very expensive for me (many cost more than my
computers). Are there any Wireless card for Linux that I could use?.
TIA

Yes, wireless is a lot more expensive than a wired LAN.  There doesn't
seem to be any way around that.

802.11 wireless cards are going for around US $139, plus $69 for the PCI
adapter for a desktop PC.  Most of those work with Linux even though
only a few companies make note of this.  You can use them in ad-hoc
mode without an access point, but OTOH you can get an access point from
LinkSys for $269 that also has an Internet firewall built in.

Proxim "Symphony" wireless cards are slightly less expensive and also
work with Linux, but are slower.  They don't need an access point (I
have three PC's networked this way).

For more information about wireless LAN and Linux, try reading this:
