Excellent! $40 is a lot. We couldn't make much money reselling them. I'll check on a dealer to see if we could get a cheaper price.

So I picked up two different USB wifi sticks at BestBuy to try out. Belkin - F5D7050 v4001 [1] LinkSys - WUSB54GC [2] Both worked flawlessly on an open wifi. Plug in. Wait. Click on the NetworkManager applet to choose wifi network. While both cards worked on the machines from WITS, the Linksys did not work on my Lenovo laptop, which has built-in wifi. Even when turned off, the Linksys USB wifi did not work on my laptop. Both cards cost about $40 at BestBuy. Might be able to get them for less elsewhere. More details on supported USB wifi cards at Ubuntu's website [3].
