Thanks Phil. I warned against this (add-in wireless cards) from the beginning, but my warnings have fallen on deaf ears.

PCI adapters? To: "NT System Admin Issues" <[email protected]> Be warned, most add-in wireless cards are *()$# pieces of *$(#). That said, here's some examples: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315082 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833130072 Some of your requirements are redundant - WPA2 is required for 802.11n certification - and some are functions of the OS, not of the card. Technically *any* NIC - wireless or wired - supports 802.1x and the related technologies.
