This is cool, I have "dodocool" around which I wasn't use much more than 
for a usb SWITCH, but I have an Acer Laptop with wireless only, and I 
didn't know I could use ue driver for this (I never really tried but its 
sure nice to know).

The only issue I find is that it seems to topspeed a bit higher then 
100Mbps

I'm assuming this is just because ue is not ready to handle more then that, 
but it would be nice if it could go close to the 1Gbits.

Not something I would consider priority though as this devices are probably 
only used as a alternative to main cards, and its far better than what I 
got with USB Wireless cards do the the fact that there's no 11n support on 
those,, so I'm happy with this.

Many thanks for sharing the 'usbconfig -d ugenX.Y set_config 1' trick.
