English Hardware

Hi.

I going to by new PC. Could give me advice what WiFi network adapter will be good for openSUSE? (That will work out of the box and has no problem with drivers etc.)
Right now I’m thinking about Asus PCE-N10, will it be good for linux?

I got an ASUS G46VW with Broadcom wifi. Broadcom is proprietary and can be little problematically if you are up to experimental with new kernels. What is your wifi card? Post the result from

lspci -knn | grep Net -A2

I don’t have any yet :slight_smile: Right now I’m selecting components for PC. That’s why I’m asking for advice, what is the easiest way to have WiFi on PC with Linux :slight_smile:
I planning to buy ASRock H170M PRO4 motherboard.

If a desktop machine you are probably better off hard-wiring it rather then use WIFI. It is generally much faster and more reliable. But I guess it depends on your situation
