this is a cop-out answer... 
being as that I'm just as lazy, I tend to stick with cards that work with
little problems, even if they cost more.  I'm quite happy with the 3Com
3C905B-TX cards.  You have done better than I with the LinkSys.  I
couldn't get it up in two minutes, so it was doomed to be a Windows device
forever.  You'll likely find the 3Com to be a lot easier to deal with, and
can get 'em at Telectronics for about $65.00.  (Yes, definately twice the
price of the LinkSys.)
