fair enough.
What I generally do is shell out a few bucks (euro's in my case) to get something that works, like a new pcmcia card. Or better -- get supported hardware but I also realise that this not always is a possibility.
I for instance have a sd card reader that is defunct under linux in my laptop -- I got a multicard reader (approx $7) and all is fine... ;-)

Actually, that's exactly what I did. It's a Surecom ep-9001-g, purchased because Ralink is open with their API docs and drivers. Works perfectly in BSD, never worked well in Linux.
It's worth noting though that it *does* work with the kernel that comes on the Fedora 7 Live CD (2.6.21-1.3194.fc7) but it stops working as soon as you upgrade Fedora (Yes, i have reported it).

'It's a few clicks away and you have the old setup back again.'
To be honest, I really didn't care all that much since my wireless didnt work (this was before I found out it didnt work in Fedora or Ubuntu either) and I never investigated if the menu could be changed back. My bad.
