Re: Current PCI wireless cards

[Aaron Kenney <awkenney@sbcglobal.net>]

A better alternative would be to forego the PCI wireless device entirely 
and use an ethernet card with a cable run to a wireless bridge. Linksys 
makes one that even uses power-over-ethernet so you don't have to deal 
with a power brick at the end of your cable run.
