    Best WiFi PCI Card?

    Who makes the best 802.11b,g PCI card? I will be using an external antenna.

    Is range the only feature to look at?

    I was just on Cisco's site. It doesn't look like they have a PCI card with 802.11g and a dettachable antenna. They have one with 802.11b w/ dettachable. But the g card has an attached antenna?

    It seems from what I've read after I bought my D-Link PCi card, that Orinco is the prefered/popular card. I personally have had good performance from my D-Link, truly plug & play, good range (300+ ft.) and fast speed. What more could you ask for?

    Epia M1000 w/512MB PC2100, Xenarc 700TS, ATI 7500 PCI, OPUS 150 PSU, 2.5 40GB 5400 HDD, 802.11g PCI, Slim Slot DVDR,

    Oops sorry, smoking too much crack I guess. Maybe if I cut down I could afford that Cisco Aeronet card and a Ferrari, and throw away all my DLink and Nissan crap that works perfectly and is reasonably priced.
