I used the Buffalo WLI-CF-S11 G, and there is a pcmcia adapter for it if
you want it in your laptop too, I bought them both from ebuyer.com for
around 100 UKP for both of them IIRC

I had some problems that looks like the above (Intermittent ), but it
wasn't the card it was the OZ image, ejecting the card, rebooting, and
selecting no auto boot option for wireless all helped.
