Just wanted to chime in with agreement as to not having problems vis-a-vis USB wifi drivers on Linux. (Got an immersion education in dealing with drivers, though, trying to hack together some Broadcom drivers for the card inside a Dell laptop, wow what a mindbender..) Depends on the chipset & your distro obviously, but Linux has come a long way in this regard, that's for sure. As far as an available dongle, I bought a Netgear N, "dual-band" usb one at the thrift store for a couple bucks-- eager to see what it could do for me, I was disappointed when it failed on Linux & then also on Winbloze, at which point I decided I must've wasted all my time as the thing is likely just DOA. Anyone want it? Why do I mention this? maybe the word can go forth from this humble listserv, that when you donate junk to the thrift store: PLEASE put a note on it regarding any faults it has! (Will decrease anguish in the world amongst indigents & cheapskates.)
