To begin with, this card crashes my system now and then with windows xp.
In Vista, it works flawlessly with the provided driver or the Realtek driver.
In linux, the card works for a period of time using ndiswrapper, then all of a sudden freezes your system for 5 seconds, then it works again but for some reason gets your keyboard's keystroke stuck (repeating letters) in whichever application you are running. Tried 9x/2k/xp drivers with ndiswrapper and it did the same. Also tried native RTL8185 drivers from realtek, compiled and runs fine with ./wlan0up script BUT again it stops responding after a period of time used. All in all, this card is quite useless after a while of usage. range is not bad though.
