PCI interface or USB interface

Dear all:



I¡¦m plain to deploy wireless network environment in our company. As I know
that some IP Sharing include wireless function, but I don¡¦t like that.
Because I need RADIUS in my company, but most of those IP Sharing maybe have
RADIUS, but can¡¦t compare with my Windows Server, such as Windows
2000/2003.



So I plain the use PCI interface wireless card on my Windows server, or use
USB interface wireless card on my Windows server. But I don¡¦t know which
one is better, and which one can work?



Many thanks for your reply!

USB cards work well. The difference between a PCI and a USB card might be
the performance. I do not recall the speeds of USB, but USB 2.0 is faster
than USB 1.1. As long as these are faster than the wireless network you are
using, you should not notice any difference. "b" wireless is 11 mbps and
"g" wireless is 54 mbps.

If you are a company, using a professional WLAN installation service is highly recomended.
On fixed (not mobile) servers you want only PCI or in worst case, cardbus.
Not USB. Better, connect it to the WLAN AP over ethernet.
