I don't know what the differences are between Belkin 2101, 2102, and 2114. Sorry I cannot be more informative, but they change chips in wireless cards all of the time. A card with the Atheros chipset, like the DWL-G520, will work. I don't think it will cost much more than the Belkin product. They have a good price at shentech.com (never used this merchant), <http://www.shentech.com/ddwaixtg10wi.html>.
