That is awesome!  I didn't know that there was a free ndiswrapper out 
there.  I thought that linuxant was the only one and it seemed silly to 
pay as much for the driver as I did for the hardware.  I'd like to see 
companies put out products with native Linux drivers, but I'm glad that 
there are alternatives.

I'm really anxious to try this one out.
