You're probably going to have to get a new wireless card simply because the IEEE hasn't yet agreed on the standard for the -n networks. Since there is no standard ratified, I would wait for the OEMs to get it all straightened out first. As of right now, if your -n card won't connect to an -n network, you're S.O.L.

Don't get the N stuff yet, true N won't be out until maybe 2008. The stuff you see now is based on the first draft and has a bucket load of problems.

I haven't used the DLink, but others I know will swear by them. I prefer the NetGear myself - having had problems LinkSys in the past.
