Anton,

We've been using one of these
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320048 in our
system and it has been working quite well with Ubuntu 9.10. I can't
really comment on it's full speed potential doing 802.11n, as we only
have a WRT54G router, but it hasn't dropped out or had any problems
being recognized by Ubuntu like some of the other cards/USB adapters
we tried. Also, it goes on sale at MWave every so often for about $12,
which is helpful if you don't have a huge budget for Wifi cards.

I could run some bandwidth tests or something with our WRT54G if you
give me some commands to run on each computer. I might also be able to
try it on a WRT610n, if I can find it in the lab.

- Eric
