Correction to bit rate ... for some reason the in kernel driver works up to 48M and not at 54M. It appears that the driver defaults to 11M.

This product worked great.

I researched this chipset and found that the BCM43xx chipset support has been added to the kernel. Information on the web showed a great chance of working.

The kernel support went without a hitch.
No fussing with special drivers or patches.


Note: this is concerning the GP not the G.

Ahh I forgot to add ... I cannot give this a 10 out 10 as the current in kernel driver only runs at 11MPS.
