I've got a Linksys WMP11 (MiniPCI card in a PCI card adapter) and a
WUSB11 2.6 (USB adapter). I've not used either in Linux, but in Windows
they work just fine. No complaints about their performance, either in
speed or range.
The only complaint I have against Linksys is how they change hardware
without significantly changing the model number. There are at least
three versions of the WUSB11 - 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6. The three versions use
totally different wireless chipsets. I don't know what's in the 2.4
version, but the 2.5 is a Prism chipset supported by linux-wlan-ng and
2.6 is an Atmel chipset whose driver was recently open-sourced and made
available in CVS on sourceforge. I have yet to try it though.
Paul.
