My parents have one of those Belkin PCI 54G cards, an F5D7001. The
reception was awful. I replaced it with a £12 one made by Edimax (it was
sold by Efficient PC who sold Linux compatible hardware but have since
closed down) and the reception was 90% or so compared to 30% with the
Belkin. In my case the router was 54G too, it's the card itself which
was poor and under Windows you had to be an administrator to use it,
which I thought was stupid.
