The ASUS N13 wireless usb nic is what I have been using for some time as it was listed on the compatibility list. Well, maybe they were a bit too enthusiastic about it. My experience has been that it isn't ready for prime time. I have tried these devices on 2 different OS 13.1 puters, one old single core and a newer I5 system. Symptoms are intermittent loss of network connectivity requiring a networking reset. The older hardware would need constant resets, sometimes as often as every few minutes whereas the newer box might run for as much as a day... not often, though. Anyway, it finally got on my last nerve and I bought a pci-e wireless nic, a Startech.com PEX300WN2X2 which was advertised to work well with linux. It does, so far. My reason for using the usb nic was because this box is a mini-itx with only one pci-e expansion slot and I originally thought I would need better-than-mobo graphics. Not. So, if anyone wants to try their luck with wireless usb and linux, I have 2 and take paypal.
