OK-Bottom line the WIFI Card issue Update

I really want to put a wireless card in my AXIM and a Card or Hub on my Main PC which I already have networked in my home and shop (5 PC set up). I have a limited budget (really limited because wife threatens to do a Lorana Bobbit if one more piece of technology is brought into the house). I have dozens of places that will sell the "B" range of cards and hubs for a song because of the "G" series comming out (I guess). I have had good success with Compaq on their wired (phoneline) hubs and can get a wireless hub and card for less than $70 bucks from an online source. (And that covers shipping). But I have not seen anyone on this site rate Compaq's wireless quipment. So if anyone has any input and or suggestions regarding a "reasonably" priced wireless set up I would appreciate the input. I really am only interested at this point in using it at home but I may use it with my work laptop at some point in the near future. I know that many may say well spend the extra money for this or that but that really is not practical at this point.
Thanks for the expected input......one thing I have quickly learned about the members on this board is that they are certainly willing to express their opion about almost anything.
Well since I did nto get any input at all I bought the following off of Amazon today. Free shipping so it balanced out on what I could find on the net. D-link seems to have a loyal following and with this set up I can be versitile. I was tempted to go with newer "G" series but for my limited use this will be the route I take. So right or wrong .............. I'll certainly be glad to report on this later.
