Is this really the end of all my struggles? :) For only 50 USD. There seem to be only one version of the card. http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=12 http://edbpriser.dk/Products/Listprices.asp?ID=38373 (in Danish) The two cards /are/ the same, right? Also, it says 108Mps? Does it matter that my AP is only 54Mbps?
