I've always bought Linksys and I always will. Never had a problem with them, always get great signal with wireless products.

Getting the same brand as your wireless router/AP can help ensure greater efficiency when using WEP.

I'd wait for the next sale if they're too expensive, and grab an Orinoco at Dell.

I have a D-Link one, and it works.. it's kind of mediocre, but it works.

I have a Linksys. It works in Linux too. I hear great things about Orinoco, esp with an attachable antenna

Here is the Orinoco one.

If what people say is right, this is basically an Orinoco Gold

some other people are saying to get the 3Com card with the retractable antenna.

anyone else?
