Be careful, Linksys has recently changed the chipset.  WPC11 through v3 used
the well supported Prism 2/2.5/3 chipset.  WPC11 v4 (the current card and
very likely what you will get from Tiger Direct) uses a completely different
and unsupported chipset (from Broadcomm, IIRC).  You can still find some v3s
on store shelves if you look carefully.
