The only real way to tell is for you to provide the PCI Vendor and Device id's for the card that you want to know about. Which is a bit of a Catch 22 situation if you want to know if something is supported before you buy it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

:shock: yes, so it's quite difficult. Fortunately I've found some link... I don't know if it could be useful for others:

Just an update.

Finally I found this one:

Code: Select all

          *-network
                description: Wireless interface
                product: Wireless 7265
                vendor: Intel Corporation
                physical id: 0
                bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
                logical name: wlp2s0
                version: 61
                serial: 62:22:bc:79:ee:52      
                width: 64 bits
                clock: 33MHz
                capabilities: bus_master cap_list ethernet physical wireless
                configuration: broadcast=yes driver=iwlwifi driverversion=3.10.0-1160.21.1.el7.x86_64 firmware=29.1654887522.0 latency=0 link=no multicast=yes wireless=IEEE 802.11
                resources: irq:28 memory:fbefe000-fbefffff

                                         
                                                       
          02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 (rev 61)

This works fine, the only strange thing: it's change the mac address every time and I setted the restriction of MAC ADDRESS on router... so it's quite awful.
I had to permanent fix the mac address on Network manager. :?

Bye
