[NBLUG/talk] Best wireless card

[Steve Johnson]

I had a Linksys V4 card once, as soon as I found a sucker.. err I mean
user that was willing to trade it straigh over for his V3 card, all my
problems went away =)

I hear the Orinoco Gold is the best card to get, but I have yet to buy
one, so can't really confirm that rumor =)
