They are "LanReady" WP2000 cards (off brand, but they have a site at
www.lanready.com) 802.11b

I don't know for sure.  But we've used them under Windows and FreeBSD
without problems.  They seem to be a generic chipset.

Again, don't know, I haven't tried using them under Linux.  I would imagine
that if the FreeBSD folks have a driver, that the Linux folks do as well,
but I don't know for sure.
