Cheap Internal Wireless card

I'm going to give SM28 a place of honor in my new gameroom. This, however, is way too far from the hub to connect with a cable. I'd like to install a cheap wireless card. It doesn't need to be very fast, since it only ever needs to transfer WUs.

Does anyone have an old extra one laying around for me to purchase, or know where I could get one used or just inexpensively?

    If somebody provides the antenna, I will just give you a linksys 54g pci wireless card. It is missing the antenna.

    Actually, i run mine at home with no antenna at all. it still works :wtf:

    If you want it, PM me your shipping address, and we'll have prof or Q mark it down as a donation to SM28 :)

    Sweet... I'm sure I can scrounge up (or just make) an antenna for it if it isn't able to communicate without it. PM (with my new address) is on its way. Thanks!

    I have a feeling you'll get an acceptable connection even without the antenna. Penny chewed the antenna off of Crystal's WiFi card, and it works all the way across the house.

    Yea, I'm only concerned because it has to communicate into the basement from the second floor...

    In the meantime, do you need a spare network cable to get Shummy hooked to the network? I've got plenty...

    So, how's it working? Do you need any help getting the rig up and running? It's been nearly a month.

    Yes, I apologize for the down-time. It is only because of the move. The wireless card did not work without an antenna in the basement, so Jengo agreed to send me one. If I'd known it would take this long to get it up and running in the new place, I would have set it up temporarily in my new office (although it would have had to go in the middle of the floor, as that is the only free space (which is why I decided to set it up in the game-room)), But Jengo's antenna should have been here days ago, and the instant it arrives SM28 will be up and running (hopefully, with years of uninterupted folding ahead of it). :)

    Sweet. Again, if you need any help or if there's anything I can do for you just let me know.

    SM28 is up and running (and so immediately turned in the WU it had finished :) ).

    The Antenna from Jengo still hasn't arrived so I borrowed an antenna from sticky51 for the time being.
