With a matching (D-LINK) wireless router, the D-Link DWL-820 will do 108Mbit. It's a wireless gaming adapter that plugs into the ethernet port, so it doesn't need drivers.

<br><br>Come to think of it 108Mbit is higher than 100Mbit, so looking at the raw numbers, your 100Mbit ethernet would be the bottleneck. In practice, I bet the wireless has overhead that eats up a chunk of the bandwidth before getting to ethernet. Hmm...not like it really matters.
