Don't get the DWL-650+ unless you want pain. Computer Future - if they are suggesting it for linux - don't know what they are on about. It has the ACX100 chipset, which is only just now being supported (www.acx100.sourceforge.net). Get the DWL-660 from Corporate Consumables it is Prism2 based & works fine.
