What brand is your Wireless Router? Best scenario is to get the same brand wireless adapter as the one to your router for compatibility. Although most should work fine. I'd go for the Linksys one myself purely because I only use Linksys at my house and have had no issues.
i am using netgear wireless router and i bought netgear wireless usb dongle but with their crap software and with disconnection after every 3 or 4 hours i am gonna rma this one and will go with wireless pci card i heard they r more reliable and stable compare to usb dongles.
Even though you don't like netgear just going to say do NOT buy there wireless PCI card. I stupidly bought it along with my speedtouch 585i and have had nothing but problems. Apparently if you get the version 3 card it has problems with XP SP2, basically it randomly BSOD's me...am using a different companies drivers with it (uses the same chipset) and its running fairly stable although considering the PC is 2 metres away from the router i'm only getting 75% signal.

I had a USB Linksys adapter and sometimes the connection would just cut out and I would never be able to re-enable the connection until I rebooted the computer. I have since sold the USB stick and replaced it with a PCI equivalent and must admit - it has been much more reliable.
