Given those distro restrictions, it sounds similar to the PCI ones,
which are hard to get going. On the other hand, the 802.11g PCI card
seems to be Prism54, which is good, and I noticed the other day that
they now have 802.11g PCMCIA (cardbus) cards too, which may be the same
chipset (cross fingers). So that would make the faster one work better
than the slower one, which is the sort of compromise I like :-)
Comments from somebody who's actually tried them would be very useful.
