If you want an 802.11b card, I would continue to recommend the Orinoco Gold or
Silver cards. They have fully opensource drivers and I have yet to have one
fail since buying them several years ago. I believe the ASU Computer Store
(inside the Computing Commons at ASU Main) still carries them or you might be
able to get them from Insight or some other online retailer.
