Wireless Networking with ME

I have a laptop running ME, and I am thinking of adding a wireless network
card to access the internet in public places where wireless networks are set
you. Such as Starbucks, airports, etc. Any info you can provide about
'gotchas' I might encounter would be appreciated. Such as how well do the
access ports in aairports work, do they charge, what about Starbucks?

Thanks.

Phil

Have just gone through this situation.
WinME with a Netgear MA401 wireless card and
a Netgear MR814v2 wireless router and 4 port hub.
I also tried a MA501 card with the same problems.

WinME recognizes the wireless card but it
either does not have the correct drivers
or memory space is allocated elsewhere
that will not allow the card to function
properly [code 10]. Haven't figured this
out yet but beware that ME is not quite
up to par for wireless as far as I can see.
Netgear [India support] has been of NO HELP.

The Netgear hub/wireless router works fine
based on an ethernet cable connection from
the same computer. The idea WAS/is to rid myself
of the wires. Perhaps I may be ridding myself of
the Netgear cards.

Hope this helps some.
