I have a wrt54g router and a wmp54g PCI card. I just stopped using my wireless card due to frustrating lack of driver support...
When it was up and running it performed well (although I am not streaming from a different backend to a frontend) - file transfers seemed quick and it stayed connected to the net reliably. The only driver support I could make work was with ndiswrapper - which just seems like a frustrating solution. Plus, finding the version that worked with my kernel was a pain. After my last kernel update, it broke again and neither of the two versions of ndiswrapper would work. Without net access, its hard to troubleshoot a problem that requires new driver downloads. So I ran a long cable aroudn the room so I could work on the other pressing upgrade issues (nvidia drivers, ivtv and lirc all broke when I went from FC2 2.6.9 to 2.6.10). Now I have fixed most of those issues (except for lirc no longer auto-starting), I haven't "got around" to removing the long cable, which probably means I'll just stay with my trusty eth0 Where's the damn linux support from these wireless vendors...
