I'm running a USB 802.11G and it works a treat - the usual BIG Linux 
warning though. Make sure you research thoroughly the brand and model 
you are going to buy, and ensure its going to work. Don't just rely on 
the model number either, many wifi manufacturers change chipsets but 
don't change model numbers (or even build numbers!). Linksys, I'm 
looking at you.......

Cheers,

Steve Baker.
