    Anyone know where I can find a good network adaptor from, I've currently been using a Linksys adaptor, which is fine, but my roommate just upgraded to G (so I want a G adaptor now) but also where I work has wireless but signal isn't the best, so I need something with a decent antenna.

    If cost is no object, an Orinoco solution would probably be best, but I doubt you'd see much drop[ with somethingfrom netgear. That would be my preference.

    im with brian, orinco is a quality name. It also is the best by far at finding wireless access points(especially when wardriving[ :D]), but wardriving is illegal so dont do it!
