From personal experience I can vouch that Belkin F5D7010 v.3001 is also
a ral(4) card. Interestingly, according to the official Belkin support
site, that is also the only version of the card supported under Mac OS
10.3, which gives you a nifty way to confirm compatibility at purchase.
Would anyone else consider that a good indicator? I mean, that would
be great if that was the case all around. I got to know the return
guy at Best Buy so well, he let me bring my laptop in, and opened
boxes to find wireless for them... I open 5 different ones before we
had to quit (read: his manager showed up to ask "WTF?".) I hope he
still works there...

I got mine at Circuit City, and these are currently on sale at $34.95.
Unfortunately, they tend to carry up-to-date inventory which probably
means the Windows-only version 7xxx (again according to official Belkin
support page)
