Yes, you can get almost any card to work, but having had the experience of 
spending three days and hours of screwing around getting a D-Link card to 
work, versus buying a couple cards for 20-30 bucks that worked by plugging 
them in, I'll take that one any day :)

As for purchasing one in a local store, there I cannot help because I'm 
located several states away.
