Why not give just a simple answer to a simple question in the first place?

I wonder why you guys are making such a plead for the ASUS device.
D-Link for instance has the same kind of device, the DWL-G730AP 
http://www.dlink.be/?go=jN7uAYLx/oIJaWVUDLYZU93ygJVYKOhST9vhLPG3yV3oUoF9gKltbNlwaaRp6TssAmu5j3cf/YEIAN732qfiKUoUteLZ>

(wireless router/AP/client) which at least doesn't need to be setup in 
Windy, doesn't need special software at all as it's "website" can be 
accessed directly by any webbrowser (IP address 192.168.0.30). Meaning 
this D-Link can be a wireless substitute for a wireless PCMCIA network 
card.
In the light of this the ASUS can't be recommended, and sorry to say, 
the article at VOICE is misleading in that respect.

Other than that, I wouldn't recommend none of these devices, as they 
haven't a build-in DHCP server. For a few pennies more there is for 
instance the D-Link DWL-2000AP+, which has all the qualities of the 
DWL-G730AP 
http://www.dlink.be/?go=jN7uAYLx/oIJaWVUDLYZU93ygJVYKOhST9vhLPG3yV3oUoF9gKltbNlwaaRp6TssAmu5j3cf/YEIAN732qfiKUoUteLZ>

, which IS operating system independent, and of which the setup can be 
done by simple human beings too (can't be powered trough an USB port 
though).

And again, sorry, the article in VOICE is very disappointing. How on 
Earth can a device needing Windy be "strongly recommended" whereas there 
are the same kind of devices available needing no Windy at all?

I thought we were in the business of os2-user-support, but it looks like 
I do have it wrong.
