[GLLUG] Wireless Cards

[L Inbody]

Chick,

I travel extensively and access a whole lot of different hotspots, never
noticed a difference between the B or G cards.  The only time I have ever
noticed a difference is when transferring files on my home network between
computers, that is probably the only time you will notice any difference at
all between the versions.

Running Linux? Are you completely out of your mind.  That thing is a
rip-off.  It comes with no viruses, no Trojans, no malware , etc .......
