As long as you have ndiswrapper it shouldn't matter.

To be more precise, as long as they both WORK with ndiswrapper, it shouldn't matter. It's more a question of which one is better overall, I'd say PCI cards are more reliable, but USB cards are more versitile.

Yea, I agree with Oxygen. With a USB adaptor you can just plug it out and go to another PC (desktop or laptop)m plug it in and away you go again. However, they don't have a very big antenna so the range is adversely affected. USB adaptors are generally more expensive as well in comparison to PCI cards.
Hope you understand it a bit better now!
