Native driver source available from manufacturer website - difficult configuration. Windows drivers work with ndiswrapper. Supports WPA/WPA2 through ndiswrapper.

Incomplete (not working) native driver mrv8k, but it works with windows drivers via ndiswrapper (official support files here). It is recommended to follow the instructions for installing Netgear WG311 v3 here, since they share the same chipset and driver. For 64 bit systems, it is important to follow the instructions found in this thread, otherwise the installation may work but will be susceptible to random freezes (tested in maverick with kernel 2.6.35-25)

Native driver source available at http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 further detail on http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10499585&postcount=10. Windows drivers won't work with ndiswrapper. Supports WEP, seems limited to 1Mb/s, doesn't report signal strength of Network Manager. The driver causes occasional system freezing. Tested on Natty amd64.
