Well...I've used D-Link before. Very strong signal. Never gave me any prob until it died out on me about a year use. Now am using some no-brand usb dongle my friend got it from Carrefour. About RM60 usng WLAN software. Signal not as strong as D-Link but workable for me.
One thing to note though that I just can't pull out the dongle just like that. I need to logout/shutdown to do that else the MAC will freeze and crash. For the price I paid instead of an Airport card, the inconvenience is negligible. |

In other words its same as that D-link wifi usb. But I've fixed the drivers now , and it works well. So you should not face any problem if you use my hacked drivers.
