(Sorry, you'll get this twice, sent it in private by mistake.) Be very careful about the models listed on the man pages: sometimes the manufacturers change the chipset on their cards without any notice. I like to use ebay to purchase wireless cards: the seller can make a close-up picture of the card if needed so you know what chip it actually has. FWIW, the only PCI card I have is a Conceptronic C54Ri, which works as advertised. I bought it 2-ish years ago, though, so I don't know if they still make them (and if they do, whether or not they still have the same chip). Firas
