   The Lexar CF cards work wonderfully.  I believe the 256MB CF card can be 
used in 5.0v or 3.3v modes; the 1GB Lexar CF card can only be used in 3.3v 
mode, so you cannot use a hard drive simultaneously...

   If you are looking to use Linux this particular wireless adapter might not 
work; cards based on the Prism chipset seem to get fairly good support, but 
the D-Link wireless support for Linux is sketchy.  Please try to check the 
hardware compatibility list for this card before purchasing.

   I hear tell that some of the Phillips USB webcams work well with Linux but 
I have not seen it for myself or tried yet.
