I picked the Buffalo card because it has an external antenna connector jack on the card for an MC type connector, and I plug in a "cantenna" which is a tin can converted to a waveguide antenna. This lets me have connectivity to my access point from the bottom of my yard where it dips below the level of the house.

Also does anyone know whether the Netgear WG511 or WAG511 PC cards (PCMCIA) work? -- There are still some outlets if the UK offering a free one of those cards if you buy Netgear's DG834G combined WAP/ADSL router, which I'm tempted to as my current router (D-Link) is beginning to show its age.

I have used a WG511 for about 1 year. In FC3 it is very close to a "just works" installation. You only need to visit http://www.prism54.org to download firmware and copy it to /lib/firmware (location is different for FC2). The prism54 driver module is part of the standard FC2/3 kernel. I don't believe the driver supports WPA-PSK, otherwise I have been satisfied with its performance.

I don't think my aging Sony Vaio PCG-F350 laptop can run Fedora Core 3, but I'll try installing it on my wife's much newer Compaq nx9010 laptop. The trouble is, she doesn't have enough space on her hard drive, so I'll have to install to one of the USB external drives.
