+!! Unsupported cards
+There are a number of cards which are not supported directly. The most notable of these is the Broadcom chip series. These however can, in many cases, be supported by using Windows drivers with a project called [ndiswrapper|http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net]. Basically you load the Windows driver through another layer which provides Linux compatiability for NDIS drivers which are the most popular kind.
!! Which Chipset should I use?
An excellent question, it depends on what you want to do.
