I have been struggling with a Dlink 650 card that gets horrible reception (60 ft indoor) and was going to hard wire my house. I bought a SMC 2532 today and I get a strong signal at the corner of my house 100 ft and several walls away.
This solved my problems.
Very powerful 200mw
And the Antenna receptivity is excellent

This is the best card I have found.
Hope it helps someone else!
