We do not recommend or support any card from Linksys

Caution: 802.11g: We have experienced difficulty with some 802.11g wireless cards. While most claim backward compatibility with 802.11b networks, the extent of the compatibility seems to vary.

Cell-based wireless: Products like the Sierra Wireless card are cell-based wireless. These cards use cellular service like a cell phone, not radio waves like the SSC wireless network. Use of these cards required subscribing to a cellular service and incurs charges each time they are used.
