If you're going to take the time and order a new card, try this one: http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=products_show_description&productCode=SMC2532W-B I've been very happy with it. It's a Prism card, but I had to use the wlan-ng drivers. Worked like a charm. It's a 200Mw card with external antenna ports (2) and comes with an antenna to plug into it. It has much better reception than an Orinoco clone I tried. Oh, and Amazon has it pretty cheap. You can see my iwconfig numbers at: http://mike.random.info/2003/12/14/ > A piece of advise.

Note the SMC card has a detachable antenna. :) Mike -- "If life hands you lemons, YOU BLOW THOSE LEMONS TO BITS WITH YOUR LASER CANNONS!" -- Brak GNUPG Key fingerprint = ACD2 2F2F C151 FB35 B3AF C821 89C4 DF9A 5DDD 95D1 GNUPG Key = http://www.enoch.org/mike/mike.pubkey.asc
