Great to hear! I'll probably be buying one for myself next week. Let us 
know if you get the chance to try the 411. Right now the Linux-supported 
wifi card that I've been recommending is the Netgear WG511T which works 
very well and is available in most computer retail stores, but costs $70 
if you don't catch it on sale. It would be nice to be able to recommend 
something cheaper to those who don't mind waiting for it to arrive in 
the mail.
