Neal: I'd vote against the Broadcom board. Broadcom refuses to create a 
Linux driver, so you're stuck with ndiswrapper to get it to go. I have 
one on a Windows laptop and it just doesn't work. Connectivity is spotty 
at best and it is a very balky board. I think you can expect trouble 
with Broadcom.

The SpeedBooster sounds like a Linksys card. I've not used the one you 
listed, but I have had good luck with Linksys gear in the past. I 
couldn't find data on the chipset; maybe that's a question for HP's 
presales support folks.
