The cheapest is a card to put inside your desktop. Problem is the
antenna is on the card and can be VERY poor receiving WiFi. You might
need a antenna with a 1 meter cable. The USB model cost more but it has
a cable so you can get it where it works.
FWIW, my (old-ish) EDIMax PCI card has an antenna on a
cable. Haven't used it in a while, but it is Ralink (rt2500)
based. I know that for that chipset there did not used to
be a Linux driver for the USB variant.
