A purely informational follow up to <http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2008-05/0824.html>: I got a zyd(4) as a Linksys WUSBF54G. It's neat, doubles as a wifi-finder when you don't have it plugged in, seems to have good range. Sadly, if I push it too hard not only do I get a bunch of those but the NIC chokes (i.e. without giving any notice it stops sending or receiving packets, I only notice when firefox times out everything all at once) and I have to replug it to make it work again.
