What wireless card to go with Linksys WRT54GL

[Mortah]

As the topic says... what wireless card would go best with the Linksys WRT54GL wireless router/switch?
[bit of a noob with wireless as only ever had wired networks before!]

USB, (mini-)PCI, PCMCIA, ExpressCard? For any particular OS?
Most cards will work fine - the GL does 802.11g and can be made to do Speedbooster. The latter requires a specific line of Linksys cards.

Just for XP. Noticed that most of the LinkSys cards are out of stock... will another make of card be OK or could I expect trouble?

Thinking of waiting for stock on: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter
As its cheap and seems to have good reviews... can anyone see any problems with this idea?

Speedbooster won't work (not that it's much advantage), but beyond that it'll work fine with any brand of card - so long as it's 802.11g.
