I picked up one from the hsn.com special, and I got a Netgear MA701 
802.11b wireless network card. I just plugged it in and it worked. 

If you've completely hosed the unit, you can reset it to its original 
factory state by opening the battery compartment and pressing the reset 
button with a paper clip. This will lose any data you've got on the unit 
(anything stored in RAM; if you've got a CF or SD card, the data on those
is still safe).

If it hangs when the card is in the unit, but works fine when the card 
isn't, then perhaps you've simply got an unsupported network card. 

Or maybe it's a DHCP issue; if you haven't run the Internet Wizard tool, 
then by default it will try to find a DHCP server to get an ip address. 
If you don't have a DHCP server on your network, then it would take a 
while
before it gave up.
