I am looking to build a new desktop which is going to have wireless
access through my router.

I have been using Atheros's chipset with the ath drivers, yes it works...

But after read this article: http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/293

I begin to think if there are better vendors out there?

>From the article it seems that Ralink and Atmel are the most
co-operative vendors to open source communities...

So how good do you think they are?

What drivers is used for those devices? Is it actually good?
(Performance, stability wise.)

What about the hardware? I have never heard of them... do they
actually make quality products?

Which vendor do you think is the best to use with FreeBSD?

Cheers.
