I concur, D-Link 630 works quite well.
Also, Linksys WPC-11 ver 3.0 is good.
D-Link DWL-122 (USB) Works great.
Proxim 8470-WD Gold B/G Worked but had the Atheros Chipset problem holding signals for 2 or more minutes after they are gone. I'm going to experiment with different drivers to see if any work better.
ORiNOCO 8410-WD Gold Classic, Well OF COURSE it worked suberbly, BUT, did have a problem at first. it would stop receiving signals after various times, usually quite quickly, like two minutes or less. The latest drivers on Proxim's website was 7.64, and that is what was on the CD I got with it. and the client manager was 2.9. I ended up going to Agere's web site directly, they had Driver version 7.82, and Client Manager version 3.30. This fixed everything for my setup.

So if you have any problems with the Classic Card this is what worked best for me.
