My first cardbus, I was very unsure what to buy, lots to choose from.
well I went for the Motorola WN825G from Ebuyer, the price was amazing @ £8.99 inc VAT http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=98295
It was just a matter of inserting the disk, install the drivers, push in the Cardbus, enter the WEP number & straight on the net, well pleased.
how easy was that! well recomended.

signal tests: results were very good, I have big flint walls around the house, no problems at all, signal was excellent to very good, all rooms & outside the house tested.

I use the SpeedTouch 576 wireless gateway to connect to the web.
