Description: ASUS wireless 802.11g card-bus
Driver source: http://www.bb-zone.com/misc/rt2500/
Fedora Core 3, Mandrake 10.1, Ubuntu 5.04
2.6 Kernel

Works ok with Linux driver apart from WPA which is a bit flaky. With FC3, WPA would freeze my PC, MD 10.1 would connect but drop connection and occasional freeze and no DHCP, Ubuntu connects and holds connection but has dropouts occasionally.

Seems stable with an open system or WEP.

There is a configuration utility provided with the drivers which i have only managed to successfully run under Ubuntu. You can still easily configure the card without it.

Always willing to help out - just drop me an email :)

Works great in Debian Etch (using WEP encryption). WPA has not been tested. Drivers are present in official repositories.

This PCMCIA card was the easiest wireless card to get working in of all the cards I have tried.

The driver is in the Debian repositories and with the use of module-assistant and the distribution how-to on the rt2x00wiki, setup was painless.

no ndiswrapper, no firmware files to deal with ..

Definitely the card to buy. I'd rate it a 12 if it were an option.
