Sorry to say, but not quit. The only test I did yesterday was with an 
unencrypted connection. I bought this stick because the old card I had in 
that laptop only could do WEP 64 and me router does WEP 128 or better. So 
today I tried an encrypted connection (WPA + WPA2) and that did not work. 
I also got some strange errors in my syslog. So I'll have to run some 
more tests and in my opinion the patch is not ready for release yet. I 
have reported this back to launchpad off course, but I think we are on 
the right road.
