Hi Steve- I think the easiest I have ever done is a orinoco pci adaptor with a gold 11b card in it. I found these adaptors (still) on ebay awhile back for pretty cheap and the classic gold cards can be found as well. I also have used a linksys pci adaptor but I think it was either with ndiswrapper or linuxant. Memory does not serve well on that particular experiment. If I wanted a drop-in type of thing, I would probably go with the orinoco classic gold card and the pci adaptor. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
