Doh!  Why can't someone make a product that "just works"?  It is *so*
hard to buy a wireless NIC these days =p.  You really need to try it
before paying for it.  So many vendors' model numbers have no meaning
anymore.

Well ..., that says linksys' WUSB54G (USB PrismGT) works for 80-some
people.  I bought one, then read the code.  There's no possible way it
could send/receive data at that time (and the code hasn't changed in
cvs in 6 months).

I don't think that table has been updated in a long time either :-\.

Good luck in your search!

PS. The XterraSys XN-2522G is the card I have.  It works well.
    However, a coworker bought one (from the same ebay seller) a month
    or so after I did and discovered that XterraSys decided to switch
    it to the TI chipset without changing the model number =p.
