If you have it already for 18 months chanches to purchase are rather 
slim. Care to provide a link?
At present about the only avaible card here would be a jacarando, 
provided they still have it in stock at Mensys.

There are for a few euro more about the same devices available with an 
internal dhcp server, which makes configuration a lot more easy and 
flexible (something nerds apparently have a huge problem with). These 
(with the internal dhcp) are the real things, slimmed down devices as 
the WL-330G IMHO are more in the league of gimmicks. :-)
