[wplug] PCI or USB Wireless card recommendations?

[Henry Umansky]

I have a DWL-650+ DLink wireless PCI card and it uses the Texas Instruments 
ACX-100 chipset.  DLink is a great company, that at least makes an attempt 
to create Linux drivers.  Which is much more than I can say for other 
companies.  More information can be found at their site:
