[olug] OT?: Desktop Wireless Card desired.

[Kelly Williams]

I just got a good card today it has reltek chip I got on amazon Alfa 
AWUS036H I bought it with a few other antennas but you can get it for 
27.99 it has a full watt of power.. with a n connector you can use 
different antennas. Also works great with backtrack linux.
