PCMCIA card recommendations for Presario and Linksys WAP54 G andWRT54G?

This is a last ditch effort. My firewalls are off but not helping me stay
connected. I cannot replace the internal Centrino card with guaranteed
compatibility.

I have a Presario X1030US with internal Wireless B Intel 2100 LAN 3B Mini
PCI..

What are recommendations for a good, solid, PCMCIA card for the slot to work
with WinXP home and this setup???>


Thanks in advance.

What is th price you intend to put for that card ?

Howwever Linksys should be a good choice, i also have a Proxim Orinoco Gold,
it's working fine but not so beautifull regarding the price. Until now i
must be honnest that just my old Cisco 802.11b was the better one,
immediately recongnize by windows...

I have the X1000 (the same series, but custom configured) and have no
problem with the mini-PCI card inside, but I have the Intel 2200BG card,
not the 2100.

However when I am in areas with marginal signals, I use the Buffalo
Technology WLICBG54S (with an external antenna if necessary). $44 on
Amazon.com (search for "WLICBG54S"). The antenna is Buffalo Technology
WLE-DA2 AirStation 9 dBi High-Gain Indoor Directional Antenna.

Make sure that whatever card you buy, that it has an antenna jack (most
of them do not).

The big advantage of the internal wireless is that it has better
antennas than a CardBus card used without a separate antenna.
