Wireless Questions

I've wanted wireless internet but all I have so far is a USB 54mbps wireless receiver and transmitter made by D-Link. It's a piece of crap but can pick up wireless if I park right in front of a building which has it. And if I have my trunk open. So in upgrading, I found people talking about the EnGenius 200mW 802.11ABG USB 2.0 Adapter EUB-862. I heard issues about your computer not wanting to hibernate while it's working, has this been fixed? And if not, then can you suggest a good wireless signal booster I could use for the same price? Also, in order to lock onto signals as I pass by, I can just use Netstumbler for unsecured spots right? Will this automatically download the weather for the current day as I'm online so I can look at it later? Or do I have to load my weather screen in the skin for it to initialize the download? And the same with gas prices or traffic cameras if I add those on later?

Min hibernates with it just gine. Don't use the connection manager software that's included with the unit. Ignore al their stupid warnings during the install.
