I had 4.2 on an armada laptop with a dwl-650 in it since the owner wanted to 
do a fully wireless network ..... It never stuttered and you can run the card 
configuration utility that comes with the linux drivers using linux 
compatability. I have yet to find a wireless nic for 802.11b for under 149.00

P.S. Leo and Patrick on zdtv say that the Linksys and Dlink wireless stuff is 
the same hardware with different "skins" and software....
