No, actually I wrote that I was not interested in top of the line. I said
I was/am cheap about it as I do not plan on using it too much. But no
worries, I just wanted a little something for wireless for incidental

I too added this over the weekend and got it working nicely with a
cheapo Belkin AP. Works fine.

And thank you all for the help and comments.
