That is true but I have run into the rare case where a Japanese router's 
web UI doesn't render properly under non-IE browsers.  I don't recall 
the exact make and models but I believe one was a Yamaha and the other 
was a Panasonic.  Also, some wireless routers are sold as kits with 
wireless cards.  Best to double check your distro's HCL if you're buying 
a kit.
