Wireless Adapter Suggestion

[Matthew S-H]

I would go with LinkSys if I were you.  I am not sure of the exact 
model number offhand of the adapter, but I had one on my old laptop 
(before I sold it and bought a mac :) ), and it worked like a 802.11g 
dream.  It cost me about $40-60 and worked wonderfully with Ubuntu and 
Windows (if ur interested) and Gentoo.
I do, however, have the model number of my AWESOME 802.11g router (~$60 
off newegg).  It's a WRT54G (NOT a WRT54GS--which, in my opinion, isn't 
worth the extra cash).

Oh, and btw:  They were both extremely easy to set up.  I believe I had 
to actually plug it in though.  But that was the hardest part (just 
kidding btw).  It auto-detected it on both Linux and Win, and the 
configuration was easy.  (Open up mozilla and type in 192.168.1.1 and 
then your password).

Anyway, hope I helped.
