[Soekris] Wireless card for net5501

[Chris Boot]

Tim,

I'd get a PCI to miniPCI adapter, and a decent miniPCI WLAN card. I 
currently use a Wistron CM9.

It's not cheap but it works a treat. There are other cards on that site 
too, including those designed for the MikroTik RouterBoards:

You'll also need an antenna of some sort.

I'd definitely recommend this route if you're not on a very tight 
budget, as Netgear, D-Link, Linksys and the like often change the 
chipset in their cards without notice and you can never tell exactly 
what quality the cards are until you try them...

HTH,
Chris
