Slam this right in your laptop. Then realized you just broke your ExpressCard slot.

What I hate about vendors like Linksys and DLink is that there are two versions of this card based on different chipsets. V1 is not Linux compatible, where V2 is. They really need to change the model number when they make major changes like this. Heck, even the Windows drivers are different.
Took a chance and ordered one, hopefully it is the right version.

Tell me something I don't know. Vendors rarely post that their products are Linux compatible. The V2 of the card is based on the Atheros chipset which does have Linux drivers.
