Stay away from the LinkSys WUSB54G. The Linux driver has been removed
from many distros because it it very unstable. And it simply does not
work in an SMP setting (like a Dual Core found in many new laptops).
SUSE say there is work on a replacement driver, but it is net ready.

Too bad because I have one in a box that will stay packed a bit more.
