Both are 802.11b and both work wonderfully. More costly than the ones at newegg but they "just work". See http://www.netgate.com/
I second this. This is the best wifi card I have ever used. I also got mine from netgate. For this type of card (wi(4)), you need to make sure the firmware is 2.5, but not 3.0, or not 2.0, etc. netgate ensures this, other resellers do not always specify this.
