This Adapter works great! Its really cheap. But the interface of its driver has some limitations. But range and network is better than its software that I dont bother.Digital camera Review: Works Great!

This was the lowest priced wireless card (at time of purchase) and it is working well.Digital camera Review: Works with Unix/Linux
Summary: 4 Stars
I am using this card for a headless box running OpenBSD 4.2. The chipset of the card is "Marvell Libertas", made by Marvel Inc. (infamous for not releasing their device specifications even after repeated pleas. Normally, had I known this, I'd never have bought it, but the price was too low to pass it up.
After installing OpenBSD's reverse-engineered drivers, it works well enough, and I get much better signal than with my laptop (presumably because of the antenna). I did lose signal once or twice, but the occurrences were random that I don't blame the wireless card (the card receives a pretty weak signal in the first place). Works in Linux (only on x86!) using the vendor-provided firmware and ndiswrapper.
The card looks a little flimsy and the antenna was a bit loose on the card from the start (nothing duct tape cant fix). Also, the people rating this product low because they can't figure out how to get the drivers working are idiots.
