Wireless Networking Solutions
A little advice, please?

I finally managed to get my webplayer hacked (running a win98 image on the doc) and now I am interested in getting it networked wirelessly. As far as I can tell there are only two solutions for wireless networking for this box.

1) Wireless USB Adaptor - However their have been many comments about the flakiness of the usb on the webplayer. Anyone using this solution could you please share your experiences (be sure to let me know whether you are running from a hardrive or from the doc and what OS)? My main reason for not going this way is to avoiding network drop outs and I don't realy want one of those dongles sticking out of my machine.


2) Wireless Mini-PCI card - This would be the ultimate solution for me (if it works). The problem is that I have not found anyone that has managed to get it working (or anybody that has even tried). The previous thread looks dead so that is why I started this one. If there is anyone out there with a wireless mini-pci card working in the webplayer please post here and let us know.

Thanks
