Laptop Wifi recommendation (cardbus)

[Eric Richardson]

Hi All,

Well, is it the chipset like atheros that matters or something else?  
Can I go with 108g
super G or should I stick to 54g? Which drivers are people using? I  
could use some
specific model recommendations if anybody would like.

Eric
