Hi, I would not recommend this card so much - I have it running on Linux for half a year now.
Beside the fact that you need to compile some binaries for it, it has some problems that I've encountered. Running on both FC(X) and CentOs I've encountered encryption problems - where I had to restart the network interface and reinsert the wireless key - I ended up using my internet keep alive script on the WLAN interface.... Performance - I was never able to reach the full potential of the network with this card, my best bandwidth were 1.2-4MB/s. All together - at the end it works, not perfect - but works.

I suggest USB cards based on zydas zd1211. You can find it in edimax EW7317UG. The driver is still not part of the kernel, so you will need to compile it. The driver is at http://zd1211.sf.net Zydas is the kind of company that is hard to find in this area: They release GPL linux drivers, and they help the independent developers that take over their driver with documentation, and with needed firmware. -- Matan Ziv-Av.
