I bought an AirLink 802.11g adaptor at Frys a while back for like $19 on sale (uses a TI chipset, btw). Works as well as the built-in Intel adaptor on my wife's Dell laptop.

Notice however that signal strength readings between the adaptors very considerably. An "excellent" reading on the Intel might show only "good" on the AirLink. Yet through-put speeds are nearly identical.
