    Hello all,
    I currently have an Intel 2915 A/B/G Wireless card in my laptop. As most of you know this is one of THE WORST wireless cards out there. And right now I am tired of getting spotty connections when I am within 20 ft of my Cisco Wireless AP so I have decided to get rid of the 2915 and spring for a new Wireless Adapter.

    I need some suggestions for this. I would prefer to get an Atheros based unit (I have some friends who have them and they work amazingly). Also I would prefer to get an A/B/G unit, however, I am not too strong on this so if there is an Atheros unit that is just B/G but awesome I would consider it.

    So Quick Summary:
    I want a new wireless card
    Atheros based highly prefered
    would like A/B/G but that is a far back 2nd priority, a high-power B/G unit would win that.

    Thanks in Advance,
    -TBird
