Hi,
Just been through this issue myself and your mileage will vary depending
on your wlan setup? Will this be 11b or something else ? With 11b anything
with the Prism chipset or orinoco seems to be well supported. With 11g or
11a look for devices with an Atheros chipset. A good place for information
is the following page:
