Works flawlessly in Arch Linux with b43 drivers.

(Warning: Not thoroughly tested, 2 days testing period when this review was written)

Used the wireless setup howto on the Arch wiki and got it working right away.

Attention: Tried to configure it only with wlassistant and knetwork manager, the latter worked.

Performed beautifully at the first day I made it work in my Fedora box using b43 driver. However,the performance became so bad at the second day after I restarted the computer.

Ndiswrapper doesn't work with this card if secured network connection is attempted. I tried all verions of Windows drivers(XP,Win2K,WinMe,Win98) that come with the Asus installation cdrom. Neither of them works.

Asus does provide a Linux driver for this, but it was long time story, I couldn't compile it for my Fed.

What a shame.

Sorry guys. I have to give another opposite review with my previous one.

Things had been just weird. I started using this wireless network card again recently. Everything was just perfect. The speed was back on (fast). I had used it for several weeks so far, it seems there was nothing I can complain about, expect occationaly connection dropped.
