Please confirm this to be a good cardbus wifi adapter to buy
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...745287969&rd=1

I've been reading this forum for hours trying to figure out the best 802.11G cardbus adapter and my eyes are killing me. But I figured out it's impossible to find one for less than $80, and you guys convinced me that G is a waste of money with war driving so I'll take an 11Mbit for now. I just wanna make sure I'm not getting ripped off.

I wanted to make sure this is Linux compatible, Netstumbler compatible, whatever compatible with an antenna jack

While I'm here, can you please recommend an antenna? Thanks!

Yeah, that appears to be a Hermes based card so, it looks good. It uses an MC type connector, so I would recomend the 5 dBi omni from http://fab-corp.com obvoiusly with an MC connector. You might want to refer to this http://netstumbler.org/showthread.ph...717#post101717

Wow thanks for the quick response. I appreciate it. I'm gonna order it now and maybe get it a day early. I'll look into that antenna thing, thanks again.

-edit-

Damn.. just read that antenna FAQ. No cheap way out huh? Should've known since I got a good price on this wifi card. Can't win em all.
