[plug] good wifi nic recommendation

[Shannon Carver]

Yea, no problems with ipw2200 based, on both the ip3945 and former ip22xx??
I've also used Prism 802.11b cards with hostap with no problems.

I've also had success with:
Netgear WG511 v2 (make sure its v2, v3 is made in Taiwan, and doesn't work
without NDIS Wrapper)
3com 802.11b cards (can't remember model number), but they're usually well
supported.
Any of the avaya/Orinoco cards as well.
