I can confirm that this device will not connect to a wireless network in Karmic.

[michael.curran (burzmali)]

This device does not currently work in Lucid, I will test it in the daily build tonight. The device is recognized as a wireless device and can collect and inject packets into wireless networks, but if you attempt to connect to a network it invariably fails to establish a connection.

I'm not sure what exactly you need for this, the device can connect with the listed driver blacklisted, but the fallback driver fails to "power" the device correctly and it has trouble maintaining a connection across 20'.

[michael.curran (burzmali)]

Device connects to wireless networks with LiveCD based on 8/17/10 daily build. The strength looks reasonable, but I did not exhaustive test for it.
