Now I'm beginning to think that was because the vendors were getting rid of their stock. I have been able to get Gigabyte version for $10. Lately I have started looking at ralink based modules. They are running about $20. I would like to find an 802.11 a/b/g adapter based on this module, but I have been unable to locate one. http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/data/RT5201USB_brochure.pdf A while ago I saw a mail mentioning that there was a wireless chip that had open doc but nobody had written a driver for. Anyone remember which chip that was?
