I used to use the same Linksys 802.11b PCMCIA NIC that the OP referenced with a Linksys 802.11b wireless router. The reception was NOT impressive.
Now, I have a couple of Dlink DWL-G650 NIC's that I use in my laptops. This model of 802.11g NIC gets GREAT reception for me, even with the identical Linksys 802.11b wireless router.
I just sold the old Linksys and Netgear 802.11b NIC's on ebay!
