They no longer make wireless networking hardware but I think the article I read said they will continue to support drivers/software for another 2 years?
 
in two years i dont think these will be obsolete. broadband will offer gigabit to the curb but i dont see much improvement in wifi unless the fcc changes regulation.
 
I had to return a MS notebook G card that I bought on another closeout. It worked great for one week, then after hours and hours talking to MS support they admitted the product was a lemon

That said I am using a MS USB wireless connector 🙂
 
Ahhhhh, I ordered 3, and they are on their way. I already have Bs lying around the house. Dang, you guys suck (all the money out of my pocket). I hate you guys 🙂

However a PCI card is a good choice when a powerful external Antenna is needed for long distance. Many Wireless PCI cards come with a removable Antenna.

no dirty cheap router, cheapest now i can find with a brand name is linksys wrt54g from amazon for about 65 bucks shipped

not bad without rebates
 
Keep in mind that in compliance with federal law Microsoft HAS to support these at least five years after they discontinued. It's so cheap that I really wish I could buy one. Alas, I have to save for an A64.
 
sold out!

well now i dont even have to think about it
it was so cheap i was gonna get 4 and sell back to others, but i need the money since i just bought an apt...

sad ... 🙁
 
If I've got a 802.11B Netgear router, and I buy a 802.11g card would it still work? I know I wouldn't maximize the bandwidth on it, but would the card still work with the router?

It *should* work since G is backwards compatible.
Heh, I'm in the same boat as you...my Netgear B router has been really good about adding wireless cards, so this will be a test for it. 🙂
 
The price is back to 29.99$ for here. Boston, MA.

I just got the 11.99$ 802.11b version and was thinking of hoping to the store and returning and order the 802.11g.. but the price went back up... 😛
