KINGNET KN-W510P PCI 802.11g/802.11b 54mbps Wireless Network Card
Current Bebox is a Thompson Speedtouch 585 v6 (although there should be a v7 coming out soon)

It's ok but not that great can have problems when a lot of connections are opened e.g P2p.etc and it's not the most user friendly thing in the world.

Then again BE* don't stop you from using your own router it's just the Bebox is the only Supported router so you can if you prefer use another router but keep the bebox somewhere where you can get to it should you need to call tech-support as they may request you connect up the Bebox.

It does support bridge mode though so you can actually just use it as a DSL modem for a separate router (Wrt54GL running Tomato in my case)
