That's good. I have a Netgear USB adaptor which came free with my router. It didn't work on Edgy or Feisty but I thought I'd try it for on Gusty just for the sake of it and it worked really well! I love pleasant surprises like this. It's great for when my wireless occasionally stops working on my Dell laptop.
