Linksys Wireless USB

[yog]

I'm looking for a good deal on a wireless USB adapter. Anybody have any ideas? They are like 50 new and I don't want to spend that much. Are there any good deals with mail in rebate or something like that? Thanks

I would look on ebay and get a linksys wusb version 2.5

This is very importaint!

Why?

2.5 allows you to add an aftermarket (or homemade) antenna. If you open up version 2.5 (will void warantee), there is the same jack (mmcx) that expensive cards like those made by cisco use for antenna.

Because linksys no longer has this in later versions, the 2.5 is perfect. (linksys will deny that you can add an antenna on any of their cards, but trust me you can- im using one right now )
