netgear WG511v2

I second the notion of that being a cheapie card. If you still have the 
receipt, take it back. There was a wg511 version 1 that had a nice 
linux-friendly chipset, but they don't sell it anymore.

Ummm, isn't the CF50 a new laptop? It didn't come with an internal 
wireless card? How about an internal mini-pci slot? 

I have the Intel 2915 A/B/G card in my laptop (internal mini-pci) and love 
its native Linux drivers. If you bought your laptop without wireless, 
hopefully inside it's wired with the antenna and you can just insert a 
nice mini-pci card.

If you pricewatch "intel 2915" you can find these cards for $23 with free 
shipping.
