Are there any better, higher-power equivalent units? I guess cost is also a consideration here.
Not legally - the cards are restricted to 3-4 Watts by gummint regulation. Hence the reason long cable runs between aerial and card are to be avoided wherever possible - the only option for maximising output is to bolt your pc/basestation on the back of the antennae, and keep the cables real short.
Anyone know much about WaveLan? I've only ever played with it in an intranet type setup.
What do you want to know? Most of the Citylink wireless in Wgtn is Wavelan based, and it works pretty well. Getting them going with linux can be somewhat testing, but that's more a reflection on pcmcia support under linux, than the wavelan cards themselves.
