I finally bought a replacement CPU so I could put linux on my desktop again, just to find out that my wireless card doesn’t work under linux. I guess I’m gonna have to save up and get a PCIe wireless adapter

Maybe it was merged into the mainline kernel already but your distribution still has the older package?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
