First see:

Then take a look at:

I have had good results with various Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset cards using 
the Hostap and wlan-ng drivers, excellent results with Cisco/Aironet 
cards, and (so far) good results with ADMtek chipset cards with the ADM 
supplied Linux driver.

The absolute *best* deal right now is on the SMC 2635W card (ADMtek 
chipset).  It's $17 at www.ecost.com, though there may not be any left. 
  Check under "Bargain Countdown".  It's a 100mw card with Cardbus 
interface (as opposed to PCMCIA).

Regards,
Mike
