[TriLUG] [OT] Inexpensive Wi-Fi Card Locally?

[Thomas C. Meggs]

Avoid Belkin/SMC like the plague. If you are going bargain, 
Netgear/Linksys is as far low as you should go. I've never heard 
anything outstanding about Belkin or SMC products, and at the same time 
I've heard about a lot of people that have had problems. They make very 
mediocre products.

Regards,
Tom
