That's the one we got.  Works well but as others have said, watch the different

versions of the cards.  We had to replace our 802.11 cards to work with this newer

protocol 802.11b.  If you use windows to set it up, I discovered that 
using encription and mac security I had to re-save the password every 
time I added new mac addresses...  Ours was $180 too from Best Buy.
