Wireless Adapter for Desktop: USB or PCI?
I'm interested in adding a wireless adapter to a desktop pc and was
wondering if there were any performance or reliability differences between a USB and PCI adapter? Thanks.

Drivers make all the difference in the world. I have never had a good USB-Ethernet adapter. I have a Linksys PCI adapter, and the drivers choke when the computer goes to standby or Hibernate in a power outage.
