If you insist.  :-)

Probably the best card for Linux users is either the Orinoco (Agere)
Gold card.  It looks like I can sell them for $93 (plus tax).  For
reference, the best price listed on PriceWatch is $87 + $4.99
shipping.

Here are some alternatives for access points:

    D-Link DWL-900AP	$156
    NetGear ME102	$160
    Belkin F5D6130	$165
    Linksys WAP11	$166
    SMC 2655W		$174
    D-Link DWL-1000AP	$186

(Add sales tax to all of those, of course.)

I happen to have the DWL-1000AP, but only because it was the cheapest
access point at the time.
