    Sending this message from my X1000 computer wirelessly connected to my WLAN via the NetGear WNCE2001-100NAR that I purchased from NewEgg as a refurbished product priced at $19.99 with free shipping, but I also had a $10 off coupon from a previous purchase, so my total price including all taxes and the free shipping was less than $12 delivered to my front door this afternoon.

    I plan on testing it with my G4 PowerBook running MorphOS3.0 beta in a few minutes and I am sure it will work just as easily.

    I really like the small size of the NetGear WNCE2001-100NAR device and the fact that it can run from the included USB power cord, or the included PSU. The next product to search for is a battery powered device that has a USB port that I can plug the USB power cord into so it will give me a temporary completely wireless solution for wireless Internet Browsing using this device with my G4 PowerBook, while I am waiting for the NetGear WG511T wireless CardBus NIC to be supported by MorphOS3.x some time in the future. Maybe the USB port on the G4 PowerBook can provide just enough current to power up this NetGear WNCE2001-100NAR, even if they don't provide enough electrical power for external hard drives.

    Another possibility is perhaps someone makes a FireWire400 to USB port adapter, just for providing power to this device?

    I will edit this message in a few minutes from my PowerBook if I can get it setup and working with the same NetGear WNCE2001-100NAR.

    Thanks to who ever it was who suggested this device as a possible solution to wireless connections to my WLAN.
