I can recommend the Alfa AWUS036H, or any Ralink RT73.

only buy ZyDAS/Atheros(zd1211rw driver),  Realtek(rtl8187 driver) or
Ralink(rt73usb driver) devices.

As far I have tested, the ar9170 driver works okay for G too, only Draf=
t-N is not supported at the moment.

11n does work but currently only in the the otus driver, which is also
open but it just doesn't use mac80211. ar9170 is the driver which will
eventually get merged.

Yes, but the otus driver is currently less stable then the ar9170 drive=
r. After my patches I haven't discovered a kernel panic anymore with it=
=2E

[STA, IBSS, not AP - max. ca. 2,4 MByte/s]

feldmann markus requested "well supported wlan stick". And they are
missing in distribution kernels.

ar9170(ZyDAS/Atheros) or rt2800usb(Ralink) should be fine, *when they
hit mainline*

=46or my proposes this driver works better than the others. rt73usb cou=
ldn't transmit packages in IBSS until a short time ago and with zd1211r=
w I get a kernel panic when I remove the stick while the network is run=
ning.

Conclusion: There are no USB sticks that are really "well supported" at=
 the moment.

Hello Johannes!

Try "vga=3D9" as kernel command line option. On i386 and amd64 you shou=
ld get a bigger text resolution with it.
