Hi guys,
My friend of mine has lately had a trayloader iMac donated to him. He wants to add wireless networking, but they don't have Airport slots.
This leaves him with two options:
(1) get a USB wireless adapter;
(2) get a wireless ethernet bridge.
I reckon (2) is a better solution, but (1) is cheaper, and this person is somewhat impecunious.
Therefore, my question is this: has anyone had any experience with USB wireless adapters, in particular the D-Link DWL-122 or the Belkin F5B5060 which they'd like to share? I've heard bad things about the D-Link, but the Belkin looks good, on the face of it.
