yeah. title says it. i don't want to be more than $20 after rebate. 802.11b or g is fine. i stopped by compussr and office depot today. both had ones available for $30 AR. thanks. :)

I have a USB one and it works great minus the fact it takes up a USB slot and it sticks out. Originally I thought it be good so I can just move it to computer to laptop to computer. However most laptops nowadays have wireless built in. I do find it useful that I can plug it into two computers without opening them up.

I've gotten good signals with a router in a basement and the USB connected computer on the 3rd floor if that any indication of signal strength.

doolittle, which fry's was that? cuz i know fry's in different regions will have different sales. but i'm gonna stop by my local one today anyhow (nor cal).

thanks for the info mcs. i saw a $20 USB one at outpost.com. my router's like 10' away in the next room. :)

the san diego north county area is where i saw the add, i think its still good till friday, these things are allways till supplies last, maybe youll get lucky.

i tried some usb cards and havent had much luck at any distance, that was over a year ago.

Airlink USB wireless adapter (802.11g) sucks big time.
