And if you REALLY want transmit power - say 200 mW compared to the usual 
100 mW - have a look at the Senao SL-2511CD PLUS / NL-2511CD PLUS as well 
as the "EXT2" versions (external antenna).

The cards are Senao cards, but there are various OEMs around.

Be careful to get a card with Prism-2, not Prism-3 chipset!

I have one -> works great with NetBSD.

You can buy it here: http://store.microcom.us/nl2511cdplusx2.html
Or here: www.firebird.de (note: You're not allowed to use these cards in 
the EU).
