But be wary. I've recently been in correspondence with someone (on a Linux 
Users' Group list) who bought an Asus WL-167G on the strength of the ural(4) 
manpage, and found it didn't work - apparently later versions use a different 
Ralink chipset which as far as we could tell is only supported in the rum(4) 
driver in 7.0.
