Suggestion for wireless PC-card 802.11b / 802.11g with out-of-the-box support in Hoary

[rpowersau at gmail.com]

Well, I bought this card Saturday:

http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/581_Excel_Super_802_11g__108Mbps_Wireless.asp

plugged it in and it just worked. So I really don't know the answers to most 
of your questions because I haven't had to touch it. ;-)

I have a D-Link DWL-2100AP wireless 108G Access Point that it talks to.
