Got this in checkout, looks perfect for my uses, however does it work in Ubuntu 11.10/12.04?

Thanks muchos.

I suspect it does. I downloaded the Windows XP driver from their website and in the .inf file, I see this:

[Atheros]
; DisplayName Section DeviceID
; ----------- ------- --------
; TPLINK
%ATHER.DeviceDesc.0300T% = ATHER_DEV_30A4.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002D&SUBSYS_0300168C
%ATHER.DeviceDesc.0301T% = ATHER_DEV_30A4.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002D&SUBSYS_0301168C
%ATHER.DeviceDesc.0300T% = ATHER_DEV_30A4_30A4.ndi, PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_002E&SUBSYS_30A4168C

This device is supported in the wireless driver ath9k:

$ modinfo ath9k | grep 002D
alias:          pci:v0000168Cd0000002Dsv*sd*bc*sc*i*

I don't know if it will reliably achieve N speeds; N is still a bit tricky in Ubuntu.

You might get some additional clues by searching this forum for the pci.id: 168c:002d.

Just bought it. I don't need N speeds as G will do - I just need a PCI-E card that's relatively cheap. Will let you all know how I get on.

Using 11.10 and it is working perfectly. Instantly detected and connected.

Connected to my BT HomeHub 2.0 and running at the 130Mb/s Draft-N speed the router supports.

Thanks for the replies!
