Hi Errol,

I'm having very good experiences with the cheap-o PrismII-based cards
such as those listed on:

  http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/
  http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/

and, in fact, this message is currently being sent using one of the
cheapest (Addtron AWP-100) of the bunch.

And the PrismII cards work with most of the 802.11b access points out
there.  I've tried it out at coffee houses, libraries, campuses, etc.
and had few problems.

Ed
