You can get a Siig at Best buys works great for around $27.00 is what I paid
for one not only did it work with Linux it works with a Mac running Linux
and the card said for Pc only but as Russell suggested to me it should work
it does and at $25.00 less than the same one in a box marked for a Mac. It
also works with a Pc running Elx, Lycoris and Mandrake.
