Go with the Aironet cards, PCI or PCMCIA. They are the best and you can pick them up on eBay for $50 or less. Plus, they are well supported under Linux (having drivers in the 2.4.x kernels already).

It's got everything you want, and it's probably the best wireless card out there right now. -- Tobias DiPasquale 88FA 30C9 1E63 CFE2 CBD8 37C4 DA1C E2BF 1D26 F036 http://cbcg.net/ Attachment:
