Just to be absolutely clear: are you saying that the ASUS WL-107G PCMCIA 
card will work out of the box on gNewSense GNU/Linux because this 
wireless card works with free software drivers and free software 
firmware (or no firmware needed at all)?

If this works out of the box with nothing but free software, I can 
recommend it to friends and clients trying GNU/Linux for the first time. 
 $30 is remarkably inexpensive to gain one's software freedom, make 
good use of older laptops, and enjoy wireless computing.  I'd love to be 
able to literally plug in the device, have the system switch to using 
that as its primary network connection and get online.

Thanks for helping with this information; this is incredibly useful to know.
