[mdlug] Wireless card recommendation

[Michael ORourke]

Thanks Ray... I enjoyed your story.  Sounds like Deja vu from when I used to 
support Windows workstations/networks.  :-)
I'll try to locate a wireless card with the Atheros chipset.  Although that 
appears to be a little more tricky than I thought.  With most auction 
sellers not including that info in the description.  Looks like I have to go 
with model #'s and do some Google searches.
