Older Linksys = Good
New Linksys = BAD.  They changed the chipset, and last time I checked (about a month ago) they had not yet released/build drivers for Linux.

I have had success with SuSE 8.2 and older RealTek chipssets.  Also have a had much success over at http://www.demarctech.com/

Regards,
Steve
