If you are considering the linksys WPC11, i'd advise you to check the
version number before you buy. 

i have the latest version (ver. 4) and it has a realtek 8180L chip
instead of the earlier prism based ones. the driver for the realtek
chip is partly closed source and its performance is, shall we say,
iffy. 

i have it working in my home network but i'm unable to get it working
at work.
