prism2 cased cards work quite well I have a dlink dwl-520 (not an dwl 520+ they don't work) but I think they have now been discontinued, if you do get a prism based card you can run it as an access point (saving money, but this does involve more tearing out of hair :)) http://hostap.epitest.fi/ is a good place to look for supported kit, they have good mailing lists.

Adam, thanks....tearing out of hair definitely not on the cards, much as BJ thinks I like to do things the hard way :-) Some most useful links there. Jen
