I bought a Wallstreet on ebay. I am planning to run Yellow Dog Linux on it.



Is there a way to install wireless on it?



what are my options?

    Wallstreet should have a PCI slot, which would allow you to use pretty much any industry standard (802.11b/g) wireless card. Here is a link with a little more information about the Wallstreet.

    Congrats on the new purchase!

    Pretty much anything should work, including the above card you found. But make sure you know the return policy before buying (whether you buy online or otherwise) just in case something does go wrong.

    Actually, many cards won't work... be sure to print that list of cards out and find an exact model. I had problems like buying D-Link DWL-650 and it turns out to be a version 4 and only versions 1-3 work.

    Any of these should work; get a silver or gold, avoid bronze.
