For those of you out there with experience what would you advise. The plan would be for ..unfortunately Windoze (vba stuff for work), Freebsd, and most likely fedora. I had no problems getting my wireless to work on the old one using the ndis stuff and freebsd beat the other two hands down for performance. Is there any one model or product that would be better for Freebsd 6 (as this is my day in day out operating system). Any experiences and or advise would be much appreciated. thanks Geoff
