I've had good luck with Arch Linux and the ASUS N10.   I just install 
wpa_supplicant and from there use the standard netctl profile system and it 
will connect up no problem.   I gave up on Angstrom a while ago.   Same 
adapter simply would not run in that and there were so many other issues I 
just quit trying.   


I put this in /etc/netctl/wlan0-MYSSID

Pre_up='sleep 10'
Connection=wireless
Description='Automatically generated profile by wifi-menu'
Interface=wlan0
Security=wpa
ESSID='MYSSID'
IP=dhcp
Key='thisismysecretkey'

Then it's: 
# netctl start wlan0-MYSSID

If that is successful then:
# netctl enable wlan0-MYSSID
Will bring the connection up at boot

It gets more complicated to handle coming up when it's plugged in or 
connecting to several networks automatically but I don't need any of that 
for my purpose.   Also note I have problems getting NTP to run right on 
wireless.  Takes too long to come up and it seems NTP gives up before the 
network is available.   I have an RTC connected on I2C-1 though so I never 
got too interested in solving this.   I just use a cron job and ntpdate 
once a day to keep things close once the RTC has been set.


All the other small adapters I have tried are problematic.
