Re: network card decision

I would get a USB one, there is more than enough bandwidth with USB 2.0, and it's easy to add and remove.

I would only look at a PCI card if I was worried about physical security (someone could easily take your USB wireless NIC).

Re: network card decision

there is a pretty good usb wlan adapter from linksys ... it's connected via USB cable

so you are able to change the position to get a better signal quality ...

when you buy an pci adapter you need a extra cable to change the position of the antenna

so it's up to you ... the usb version costs 5 euros more than the pci adapter ....

i got good results with both versions
