I have used this card with 6.[012] and it performs very well. With a 12dB rubber duck, I've been able to link up to access points several city blocks away. Curiously, in close quarters, where my laptops internal (Intel a/b/g) wireless links up, the super range card doesn't really provide any better signal or speed... but at much larger distances it still provides good performance.
