    I had to do some failure analysis on some wireless systems some time ago
    and found that there are at least a few "standards" and even cards from
    different manufacturers supposedly using the same standard may not work
    with each other (Google it I did).
    The key point then, is first make sure that your card(s) will actually
    work on your wireless network.
