Hi! I need a USB 2.0 controller card for my Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop. I have a 1.1 USB. But we travel in Mexico and it is sometimes a long way to the access points as they are just getting up and running with their WiFis. I have a Hawking HWL2 WiFi Locator Professional Edition to get a better distance. But it keeps telling me I need to have a USB 2.0 to get the speed that comes with the HWL2. Please direct me to where I can find one of these controllers and exactly what I need.
Thanks,

If so, HERE'S A GOOD ONE from Newegg.com. Works very well and the user interface is one of the best...
