Searched the VOX-Tech list archives, and found more info.

I found a WLAN Adapters Listing @ http://linux-wlan.org/

http://www.linux-wlan.org/docs/wlan_adapters_supported_html3.html

Looks Like I will go with the netgear.

Found an article at /.

and this:

Also came across this at Sourceforge.net for those interested:
