PC to Laptop Ad-hoc Wireless Advice

    I have a laptop with wireless b and I want to set up an ad-hoc network with my desktop to share an ISDN connection. I'm looking for a NIC for the desktop.

    There are some cheap USB NICs on Komplett:

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=122836&view=detailed

    Would these be any good?

    Are there any disadvantages to using USB NICs? (desktop has USB 1.1 afaik)

    There's also a PCI card for a similar price..

    http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=121268&view=detailed

    The PCI card has an indoor range of 100m as does one of the USB NICs.. Would the external antenna on the PCI card mean I could extend this range by modding/replacing it, something I couldn't do with USB?

    Will these cheap cards do the job or is there any point in spending more cash?

    Thanks :D
