In my experience you will be better with either a USB based device branded
Buffalo (often sold as "Melco") that has an Orinoco chipset, or a
PCI->PCMCIA bridge that lets you use an Orinoco based PCMCIA card. I
have had success with some of the D-Link PCMCIA cards. Some of the older
Orinoco cards, before they were branded "Lucent", work well too.
I have tried a Linksys PCI card but that didn't work very well at all,
there are drivers for many of them but kernel support is much better for
Prism or Orinoco based devices.
