Wireless card for desktop

[hudson80]

Presently running Linksys WRT54G to a HP laptop, works great. Want to put a pci card in 4 year old desktop to add to the home network. Don't really want to pay Linksys prices. Any of the under twenty dollar cards worth carrying home?

I'll let you know next week. I just ordered the $17 MSI card for a build. The external antenna on a cable intrigued me, this will allow positioning for best reception.

Works fine. If you are running XP, tell the installer to install it in Windows Zero Configuration mode, then before rebooting, remove the MSI utility from the startup group in the start menu. Well worth the price and then some.
