Good for you. I have a [10ec:8176] in my laptop and while I don't have the issues Norbert is reporting, I can't say the thing just worked. I had to use the wireless recently in a bunch of networks and what it would do, is associate properly, connection gets established and traffic is fine for a minute or so. Then, after a minute traffic would cease and I'd need to re-associate. And it worked sporadically, sometimes fine, sometimes with constant connection interruptions. And this observation was the case with almost all wireless networks I'd use. FWIW, the wifi adapter is: 01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
