Re: [Slightly OT] USB v1 and v2 compatibility

Good point! 2 questions:

 1. What is a good self-powered USB 2.0 card for
Linux? (I currently have a 4-port USB 2.0 card, but it
needs an extenal A/C adapter, which is a bummer on a
laptop!) 

2. What are some well-supported USB wireless cards for
Linux? 

Thanks ahead of time!
