Yes, I was really excited recently when I was informed by Marc Boucher of linuxant that their Driverloader program supports the realtek chipset my DWL-520 im using. I was going to spread the news here but looks like you beat me to it. :) In my case though, there's a minor bug (the whole system lags every few seconds when the wifi card is enabled and no access point is available) that requires me to download the latest realtek drivers and modify the .INF windows driver files. As a sidenote, it seems that realtek also released recently some linux drivers for their own wifi chipset now growing in number among newly released wifi cards. I haven't been able to get these to work as of yet though since it isn't very mature and also requires some tinkering with. I'll still try my luck at HRM edsa for those Netgear products (Thanks Mr. Galang and Mr. Pasamba for sharing this). My thesis requires me to setup at least three computers in adhoc mode (the more the merrier) and I prefer the wifi cards to be as stable as possible. More so, because I'm going to use these in conjunction with a slightly modified Coda FS....which is already unstable enough as it is.
