wireless cards for laptop

[curt]

Just a heads up to anyone that is interested...
I just purchased the Netgear WG511U at CrapUSA (on sale today and tommorrow 
1/15/06 and 1/16/06 $19.99 after $30 MIR) and it works right outta the box. 
At least with Mandriva 2006... It's an Atheros chipset.
Yippie
