Luis, Just to clarify your point a little bit. I'm not sure I would say "many" work right out of the box with the drivers built into the OS." I would be more inclined to say a "few" do. Only the ones that use the Broadcom chipset. There are a handful that I'm aware of that do. But there are a bunch of others out there that will work, but need a 3rd-party driver. Anne, if you want a PC WiFi card that works with the Apple OS X drivers, in addition to the Belkin that Luis recommended above, you might want to take a look at the Buffalo PC WLI-CB-G54A (-3 I believe) card. They are very Mac friendly to boot.
