Pros: The madwifi project supports this chipset, so it works seamlessly with Linux (just build the modules and load), without using ndiswrapper. I am using Debian Linux.

Cons: Using madwifi v0.9.3.2, the connection quality with this card is not good (20% vs. 60% with another nearby). A better antenna would likely help.

Overall Review: lspci: 00:08.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5005G 802.11abg NIC [168c:001a] (rev 01)

Pros: None.

Cons: Dead drive. When first installed, the drive audibly attempted to spin up at each power cycle, but never successful. Then only silence after power cycles. Tried multiple controllers. Apparently Western Digital now uses customers for quality control.

Pros: It might have been fast, but I would rather have a slow working card than a fast non-working one.

Cons: Bad card, but caused intermittent errors which varied by readers, leading me to believe it was a compatibility issue. After a few months, it started causing I/O errors regardless of reader. Poor quality control causes such hassle for customers.

Pros: It might have been fast, but I would rather have a slow working card than a fast non-working one.

Cons: Bad card, but caused intermittent errors which varied by readers, leading me to believe it was a compatibility issue. After a few months, it started causing I/O errors regardless of reader. Poor quality control causes such hassle for customers.

Pros: Works with Debian Wheezy, supported by SANE, powered via USB, no warm-up delay (LED lamp), small.

Cons: Sometimes paper slips under the edging of the scanning bed. Buttons will not work with SANE (requires a daemon for polling) but might with BoutonSANE.

Overall Review: Recommended scanner.

Pros: Works great with Debian wheezy. Fast and silent.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I am pleased with this purchase, even after several months of use.
