Periodically, Fry's has a model AWLL3026 of the AirLink101 brand for $10,
and the hardware isn't worth any more than that, but the chipmaker
involved (Zydas) has been arguably more friendly to the Linux community
than any other. In contrast, as of this writing, Zydas 802.11 devices are
paperweights under *BSD, and not very good ones, because they weigh a
small fraction of an ounce.
