It's unspeakably horrible and only us old W200 owners are keeping
interest up. I've probably posted this here before, but even the
Windows driver doesn't work properly:

If you use the latest driver, 1.00F, on XP, it blue-screens if it even
*sees* an 802.11n access point in range! You have to downgrade to
1.00C, so no WPA on Windows either.

It wouldn't take much to make the Linux driver better, even as is :-)
All it needs now is redistributable firmware.
