If you're looking for wireless USB then it is the wrong device. If you are looking for a suitable wifi adapter, then that device should work, but if you can go with a PCI or a miniPCI WiFi adapter instead then you should get better performance. The 5200 only has USB 1.1. I'm having good success with an Atheros miniPCI adapter at the moment using a 2.6.28 kernel. g.
