Ok. Our experience with Netgear's version on PC's is that it's almost as good as a pcmcia card, about 80% of the effective range.

The only problem with that is getting one that works with OS X. I believe the ones with the Ralink chipset have drivers for OS X, but not the others. I haven't a clue about the broadcom stuff, though.

By the way, to refute a statement made in an earlier post about Airport not being industry standard, it actually is. It's a stock Broadcom bcm43xx series chipset. Now, if Apple would backport the Airport Extreme drivers to OS 9, I'd be happy..
