The "new" part is what worries me. Are these drivers tested and stable
in real world installations? The RaLink card I tried has drivers in
the mainline kernel (which don't seem to work with the card I have).

Secondly where can I get these cards in smaller quantities (1 off
first up and then probably lots of 20-200)? Many suppliers of this
type of product are interested in sales of less than 10000.
