Job, I've gotten a sweex cardbus card working with the same chips.....that is: I didn't but the good people at linuxant did. Take a look over there (www;linuxant.com), you can get a free 30day trial to check if it (wrappers using windows drivers on linux) works for you. That way, at least you'll be able to connect to your LAN using ad-hoc mode and if you like it: donate a few $'s for the trouble they took. I suppose one should be able to get the card working with native linux drivers but I haven't had the heart to get to work on it, it's not worth it. On the whole one is better off selling the card to somebody else (a winders or non-choosy user) and buying a prism2 chipped card. Be it windows or linux they simply offer better performance aka realtek is pushing shoddy stuff again:( The prism2 card can be used as an accesspoint (linux only) if wanted and offers a "monitor" mode option.....it's simply more value for money. There's probably more good hardware out there I'm not mentioning, but I wasn't planning on testing them all. The atmel chipsets work under linux for instance but aren't to my personal liking either.....poor performance and no tools.
