GoHardDrive.com has the Linksys WPC300N Wireless-N Notebook Adapter for $20 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.

    I have a 2004 Thinkpad R40 (P4 2GHz) that I use this PCMCIA card for. It works great as a Wifi-G client and cheaper than many other generic-brand G adapters.
