So I am considering getting a desktop wireless (PCI) card. If your computer has USB it may be preferable to use USB. With USB you can use a 5 meter USB extension cord, so you can put the antenna away from the computer and put it in a place for optimal reception. The extra plus is that you can take the cord and the USB wireless card along if you are traveling and have bad WIFI reception on your laptop in your hotel room. I tested a few of the USB wifi cards that have free drivers. My best result was with ASUS WL-167g which has free drivers (it also happens to quite reasonably priced). /Ole _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://wiki.lugs.org.sg/LugsMailingListFaq http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
