Windows 2000 WPA-PSK Wireless Card

I have about 15 windows 2000 workstations that I will need to purchase wireless 802.11g cards for, and these Windows 2000 workstations will be required to use WPA-PSK. I am looking for some suggestions for a wireless card that doesn't suck, is under $100, has WPA-PSK built into the driver for Windows 2000 (this is very important), and comes with good wireless management software.

Thanks

I've used the Netgear WG511 - it doesn't suck too much ;-) and has the WPA-PSK in the driver.

Best of luck!

chilternPC - couldn't agree more, if you have the ability to use a wired LAN, then do so, nothing worse then trying to work on any file bigger than 50mb over wireless...regardless of how good your signal strength and quality is....

Thanks guys I am with you on the part where wired is better : )
chilternPC these desktops are in a large warehouse.

The reason why I am asking is because these workstations are running windows 2000 and I have had some problems in the past with windows 2000. Mostly the quality of the software and drivers. Usually the same card will work flawlessly in windows XP using the zero configuration tool. I have been testing out a wireless 802.11g card that 3com makes but I am not that impressed for a price of $75.00. Its the 3CRDAG675B model. MSI makes a card, model PC60G, that has gotten really good reviews on newegg.com and its only $17.

Thanks
