This Linksys adapter works perfectly out of the box, even from the Ubuntu Live CD, and in both radio bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Yes, it is dual-band, and it works without any manual configuration whatsoever, so I'm assuming the lspci output is perfect. It cost about $84.00.

As a follow-up to my previous posting, the Linksys WMP600N as I said even worked from a fresh Live CD, no NDISWrapper needed. Yes, I know Linksys fails to provide support for their wireless cards in Linux, but it still worked (possibly a generic driver or chipset driver) in Ubuntu (9.04+) and Mint (7+).
