No, I use a D-Link DWL-900AP. I just went to Circuit City
and bought whatever stuff was cheapest that day. It all
plays together quite nicely.

     I picked up a Netgear MA401 at Circuit City for $70, plugged
     it into my Slack8 laptop, and poof, it worked. (Whereas my
     NT laptop detected and configured the card, but cannot
     actually use it to talk to the network... grrr...)
