Best cards would be anythingy Cisco with an external antenna connector,
Orinoco cards or anything that is just a rebranded Orinoco (like Compaq
WL110?), or the Compaq WL200.

I think they would probably be the most sought after cards?
am I right people?

Hi all

Do we know what card is the best to buy for the wireless system?

There are alot of clever folk getting systems up for which i am envious :)

I am very keen to get a system together but my main problem is what card to
get.

If the more knowledgable in the group could let us know what has been the
best card and thus which one people like myself should buy then the takeup
could be alot quicker.

Is there a card people are buying repeatedly?

I have a computer related business and would be happy to approach the above
(unknown) company to apply as a reseller.  I could then resell the cards
back to people on the list  for cost price plus 1 or 2 dollars for admin,
phone calls etc.  If anyone is already doing this then i bow out gracefully,
i am not trying to step on toes.


Currently i can get 2 cards  i have not tested either, these are just prices
i can get them for. (My cost)

Dlink -INC GST AU$
DWL-500 D-Link Wireless Lan PCI Card 11Mbps  $352.00
DWL-650 D-Link Wireless Lan PCMCIA Card 11Mbps $275.00
DWL-1000AP D-Link AIR 11Mbps Wireless LAN Access Point(PRISM-II)  $590.00


Be aware i know nothing about these cards ie have never used them, nor do i
know their feasability for this project.
