Well, Lucent/Orinoco(?) cards are my favorites, as in my limited exp.
they just plug & play, but cost is around $60. (based on RH 8.0 in
laptop)

The D-Link DWL/DLW-650 cards are around $30 at justdeals.com, last time
I looked...

My preference is the Lucent cards, despite the cost difference, because
how many cards are you really going to buy? Getting known-good cards
and having it all just work, is, to borrow a phrase from advertising,
"priceless".
