wireless pci adaptor question(noob)

Im think looking for a wireless pci adaptor, i say think becaue I know very little about wireless set ups(n00b me). He's about too get broadband at his house and they supply him with a wireless router the netgear one which sky send out, ive told him ill get him the bit for his pc (for his b'day) as they dont provide that bit.

Should any wireless pci adaptor work or is there something specific I have too look for when buying one ?

Netgear will be best for compatability but any should work fine. Is his pc going to be beside the router? If so use a cable to connect it instead.

Hi,

Almost any wireless adapter will do, heard that PCI cards seem better than USB more reliable.

Ive got the Linksys in the link below.

thanks for the advice

he's having the router downstairs and pc upstairs, so the cable would not be of use. I've just been looking at a D-link one as there £5 cheaper then the netgear ones but for the sake of £5 its probably not worth the chance of having a problem, with it being a gift and all.
