But, maybe next time if I'm looking for a better fit with higher speed 802.11 specs, I might save my pennies and get something like the Alfa AWUS036ACH mentioned in the article. The PAU09 was not cheap, but not overly pricey also.
So maybe a lesson learned about Linux, stuff exists, you just have to find it first - then buy it. I bought the Panda PAU09 because the driver for the chip in this wifi adapter is included in the kernel no downloads, no compile from source, no dragging a cable from your Linux box to the router that may be on the other side of the house. Here's a decent explanation of what's going on and a few recommendations. In almost every case, a wifi card supported in Linux will be supported in Windows, also. The best thing to do is research first, then buy. So a "better" wifi card doesn't guarantee Linux compatibility. Plus, the stylish external magnetized antenna base gives you more flexibility in adjusting antenna placement to get the best signal reception quality possible. Linux wifi drivers are getting better and more importantly there are drivers for more wifi chips coming along all the time.
