Another good one.. Prism 2.5 based

SMC pn SMC2532W-B  only 802.11b, but 200mw power output. Also supports
an external antenna if needed.

I use the Orinoco and recommend it as well.  Since my DSL is much slower
than my wireless already, I don't have any immediate need to upgrade to
802.11g.  And the Orinoco is the only card I have seen "just work" in
SuSE, Mandrake, RedHat, and Fedora.  I have not installed Debian or
Slack on notebooks lately... ;)
