Cable supplied with DLink card had borderline connector :-(. AirLive (rt2800) card is actually stable, even on USB 1.1 -- it survived overnight testing. I still got around 5% packet loss -- it seems every minute or so connection fails for few seconds -- but TCP connection survived overnight, doing ~1MB/sec all the time. So AirLive card works here.
