Wife was just put on bed rest for the last few months of her pregnancy - and I figure it's a good time to make a push for wireless AP and a PCMCIA card. I don't have much time to research and I'll need to buy the stuff from a local merchant (best buy, circuit city, compUSA (if I must...), mircocenter...)
