well, the best card, in my opinion is the lucent ORiNOCO card. and good
luck with the security thing.. 802.11b is currently impossible to make as
secure as wire networks. if you have the lan name, and the wep key.. you
can associate to the access point.. if you are really concerened with
security, you will have to wait for 802.1x authentication. or spend the
big $ for proprietary security protocols, like the fancy cisco, or lucent
AP's.
the best thing to do for super-security wireless. you have to use VPN
tunneling software into a firewall behind the access point
Thank You,
