Thumbs down Wifi USB that works out-of-box with 9.04 list - plz add yours

I have had my trouble finding a wifi USB stick that worked out of the box with Ubuntu(and distros build on Ubuntu), since not many manufacturers write "compatible with Linux".

And this page is not specifying what security protocols it works with:

http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_h...php?hostif=USB

The one I bought today works out of the box ith no need for installing a driver or use ndiswrapper or do some tweak - its just automatically found by Ubuntu. So I thought it would be nice for others in the same situation to have a list of USB sticks that just work when inserted. So plz add yours here in this thread and remember to add with which protocols: WEP, WPA,WPA2 ........

I will update the list as it go.

Sorted alphabetically:

Belkin G+ MIMO usb adapter works with 8.04(Hardy) might work with 9.04 - WPA (thanx to B. Lay)
Hama Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Stick 54 Mbps (WPA2)(Thanx to realzippy)
SMC - SMCWUSB-G EU (Works with WPA and WPA2 Personal - I have not tested other).


Keep it comming folks

BTW: If you run into problems with "Unlock Keyring ......" then read this thread
