I just don't understand why people still get all hot and bothered about this card anymore.
Compare Receive Sensitivities and you will see what I mean.
For instance, That SMC card has a 200mw output, vs the 35 (I think) of the orinoco, couple with about a 4x receive advantage and I just can't see why you would want the orinoco.
So, if you're heading over to ecost, consider
this card.
price match this at staples plus coupon and get it for ~43 plus tax
Staples part #IM846504 (check with staples csr to make sure it's the right card, they should know it as "2.4 GHZ 802.11B HIGH POWER WIRELESS PC CARD"
have fun...
