We've been testing the card for a couple of months now, on both Linux and Windows to try and compare results. As far as we can tell it is tuning properly and getting good quality reception. We use it for IP Multicast and if we weren't getting perfect (or near-perfect) reception then we wouldn't have been able to do the data transfers that we've done. Andrew has been very busy, but he's hoping to be able to take a look at the reported signal strength and SNR sometime soon. We suspect that the strength needs inverting (this would give us values comparable to the Windows driver). The SNR is a bit more complicated - we might have try and get some readings with a meter. In the meantime, if there is anything anybody wants tested I'd be happy to oblige.
