Hi everyone!

I'm looking to get a Wireless PCMCIA Card for my laptop. Does anyone know where I can get a good deal on one?

thanks in advance,

A word of caution (I learned this the hard way):

If there's a particular WAP you'll be accessing most of the time, I'd suggest getting a card made by the same manufacturer. I learned to my sorrow that, despite the Wi-Fi standard, there can be compatibility problems, particularly when using WEP security. So now I have to swap cards, depending on which end of my apartment I'm in (because of the layout, I needed two WAPs, and because of some other peculiarities, they had to be different brands).

Bruce, I got my cheap WLAN IEEE 802.11b WLan CardBus card from Ebay and it works great with my Linksys.
I saw them on ebay and thought, hey i've got nothing to lost it's 12bucks.
When it actually worked i was actually kinda surprised.
