Thank you for the kind words. The performance of the cards with a rev 4 802.11 core are not the best. My tests show receive rates of ~5 Mbs and transmission rates up to ~6 Mbs. The maximum is with a bit rate of 11Mbs. You can set that with an 'iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M' command. This command has to be issued as root.
