Ripped directly from f*t wallet forums
Compaq Connection Point (CP-2W) Wireless Access Point, $49 at Radio Shack without rebate, it's marked as $199, but rings up as $49.99
SKU: 25-3073 (Not available online, only B&M)
They also have compaq USB & PCCard wireless $29.xx each, both are originally $100.
SKU for PCMCIA Card: 25-3072
SKU for USB: 25-3071
Best thing to do is call up your local Rad-shack and ask them if these SKU's are on sale.
I pick this up and works great, a few things though, upgrade the firmware for the Router. Secondly, for XP Pro use the PC Card drivers that came with the CD
Review for the router
EDIT: changed it from YMMV to confirmed, Radio Shack is clearing these things out all over the country. newer firmware update
Older firmware update that works good
EDIT 2: Added links for both firmware revisons. The newer one is from 1/2003, the works really good to.
EDIT 3: Yet another Firmware revision 1/22/2003 woohoo
