I suggest you look at the SMC2532W-B pcmcia card and get a PCI adapter for it.
This is a high performance card, very close to the best, at a price only a
little higher than the real cheapies. ($57 at computers4sure) So it is still a
good bargain even after you buy the adapter. (I got a Belkin at the swap meet
for $12)
I just wish I would have known about this before I rushed out and bought the
Linksys at Fly's.It will run circles around it ;-)
