USB WiFi

[ANdrei]

thanks for the answer. I think I will go for the SWEEX model, then... seems 
to be the safer choice...
Edimax seems to use Ralink also, but I think that most consider Edimax low 
quality for some reason, so I might avoid it... Because on the box they 
advertise Linux support, but never mention it on the website - weird... and 
infos on their chipsets are as hard to find as a needle in a hey stack...

to their level then beat you with experience...
