 If money is a constraint then consider purchasing a card with a RTL8187L or Atheros chipset, also read [[compatibility_drivers#which_is_the_best_card_to_buy|this]] first before purchasing. There are many available on the market for fairly low prices.  You are simply trading off distance, sensitivity and performance for cost. If money is a constraint then consider purchasing a card with a RTL8187L or Atheros chipset, also read [[compatibility_drivers#which_is_the_best_card_to_buy|this]] first before purchasing.
