D-Link DI-614+
Originally purchased it with a D-Link 650+ which is one of the new
dual-band 22Mbps wireless cards. Only the TI ACX100 chip inside the
650+ isn't supported (even though D-Link promised on there website they
would release drivers in Dec. 2002; but we all know what corporate
promises are worth).
I replaced the cards with normal signal-band Orinoco 11Mbps cards but
kept the 614+ since it works happily with standard wireless cards and
has a reputation of having an excellent range.
