I have been looking all over the place for a card that will work out of

currently using a Linksys WPC54G that has to use the ndiswrapper driver.
It is flaky about connecting to places, sometimes yes, sometimes no. I
know that the atheros chipset is good, but how do I know what chipset is
in what card?
Thanks

Quick answer: you don't - at least until you take one home and plug it
in. There are a couple of resources on the net that mention specific
models, but manufacturers have been knows to swap parts without warning.
I have a Dlink WNA-2330 H/W vers: A1 F/W vers: 1.0 that works fine, but
it's a couple of years old - don't know if you can still get the same
thing or not.
