NewEgg.com has the Linksys WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter for $17 with free shipping. It has excellent user reviews from people who have upgraded their notebooks' sluggish wireless to this beast. Take note that it is CardBus interface, not ExpressCard.

    No where to find a current model notebook who use CardBus anymore. Maybe it is for notebooks made before y2k....

    The Lenovo ThinkPad T61 has Cardbus. It was bought last year by my company. Cardbus is still pretty recent, and extremely common for someone who needs to upgrade their wireless networking. (Most people aren't upgrading the system they bought this year.)

    This particular card works well. It may not be the best compared to other n cards out there, but the others cost around $70. This is an excellent deal. As long as it is reliable, the main benefit of n is its range, not its speed. (Most people use wireless to connect to the Internet, for which even 802.11b is 10x faster than what most people need.)

    Nice deal to upgrade to the world of wireless n. Plus it gets decent newegg reviews. This would be a nice upgrade for my armada m700.
