Update old Compaq to linux..?
#7
So doing some investigating for you. I found this with bluetooth and wireless n support new for under 20 bucks.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Atheros-AR5B22-3...1507091084

Which is supported by thwe ath9k driver in the linux kernel since kernel 3.2.

Edit: I made sure I picked a seller that will ship worldwide for free also.
Note that I picked a pci-e instead of pci. Research or look inside your Compaq to make sure a pci-e slot is available first before buying. If not. Safer to go with usb I guess.

Looking at your spec link

Quote:One PCI Express x16

that slot is the one to use. Unless a video card is using it. Then don't buy what I posted.
