All these cards have the Atheros chip... Is any one better than the other?
8480 has A/B/G, 8470 has an external antennae jack and the G650 has "108 G"...I already have the D-Link. Is there any reason to invest in the 8480 or 8470 for extra Linux/Auditor features over the D-Link?
I also have a Netgear DW511 that works great (PrismGT?)...
I am I all set or do I have the wireless PCMCIA fever?
Thanks,

Hi, You can adjust TX power on Orinoco card and it has good RX sensitivity. From my limited experience D-link card gave most headaches. Once it messed up registry which needed total restore. I am running W2K Sp4 and Linux.
Yup, D-Link blue screened my brand new laptop (after installing drivers from factory cd). I reinstalled the laptop software and went with the Atheros drivers and it has worked great since. I liked the D-Link utility so I just replaced the D-Link drivers (same name) with the Atheros drivers.
Looking for the good stuff though, thanks. I have my eyes on an 8480... maybe an 8470 next... Got the fever! ; )
