yup, there was a thread about this earlier, that someone couldn't get
the PCI version of the Linksys card to work. I am going to setup a
wireless network at my parents house and I ordered all Netgear
components because of that reason. I heard Netgear APs also get better
range than Linksys. I'm pretty happy with my Linksys setup though.
I'm actually on the Wayport network at the Austin airport right now with
my Linksys PC Card... hehe...
