Linksys have a fairly good range of Wireless 802.11g products (routers &
PCMCIA) , as far as I know they are as good as any other Linksys products,
http://www.linksys.com/products/

They have also recently released a firmwareupdate that is "supposed" to
address some of the speed issues (apparently not much difference between G
and B products)

You can read some reviews here

Hope this helps

Before buying call the company and make sure their wireless card is
compatible.
I bought a Linksys 802.11g only to find out after I installed it, it wasn't
compatible with the Ti chipset of my cardbus controller. I would assume
this case is true for PCI devices also. You'll need a tech support person
(or someone with access to that database as the 'sales' guy isn't going to
know)
One sales guy told me I didn't know what I was talking about and that every
card is works with every chipset. Guess who he worked for. I've learned my
lesson.
