[MLB-WIRELESS] Internet Feed offer.

[Peter Rogers]

Danny,

If your interested i could get work to sell you a Netgear PCI adaptor (
without card) for about $110-120 depending on freight charges.

it would save you $50 ish dollars compaired to the oricono one but ive no
experiance as to linux/bsd drivers, maybe someone else could help here.

regards

Peter Rogers
