In case you missed them last time, CompUSA is blowing out 802.11g stuff again...

802.114 PCI, PCMCIA, USB 2.0 adapters. $9.99 each

Bottom left corner of:

Also, They have 2 add-on antennas for routers or PCI cards that will greaty increase range and signal quality. The omnidirectional ($4.99 after rebates) is best if your router/AP is in the middle of the house, the directional ($9.99 after rebates)if it is in a corner of the house, or for a PCI card to connect to a distant router.

As long as your router, or PCI card have a screw on antenna, either should work. The directional is much better in terms of gains, but is limited to a 80 degree sweet spot.
