I intend to move an old PC away from the router it is currently near and use a wireless card, so that it can communicate with the WRT54 router. I am looking for a WPA enabled card, and was considering the WMP54G from Linksys, but I have seen very mixed reviews, which may be down to peoples incompetance, however one reviewer said that the PCI card crashed his system on bootup, due to incompatablity with the PCI bus. The card is going into an 450MHz pentium III machine, that will be used by my daughter.

Has anyone used this card, or can anyone recommend a reliable alternative.

TIA
