Of course, known to work well with -current is a "need to have." Ok, based on local availability, and recommendations from various folks, I've narrowed it down to aironet 350, and netgear MA401NA. Any commentary on those two cards is welcome. I'm particularly interested in hearing about the netgear card, since wi(4) lists the MA401 model, but not the NA. The web page I use locally (south San Francicso Bay area) is here: http://www.centralcomputer.com/PriceList/Hardware/Networking.htm If anyone sees a really good value on that page that I should consider instead, I'm all ears. Thanks for the suggestions so far, I will of course report back my findings.
