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...
