A point to be aware of is the way models can ... change. I want
looking for an 802.11G USB wireless adapter a number of months back. I
did my research and found that the TRENDnet TEW-424UB was well
supported under Linux, so I bought one. When I got it home it didn't
work. A bit of research later turned up that there have been multiple
versions of the TRENDnet TEW-424UB. Version 1 is very well supported
under Linux. Version 2 (what I have) internally is TOTALLY different,
and while it can be made to work under Linux using ndiswrapper, it is
... ugly. I know there have been post version 2 models, and I don't
know the details there...
