      None.  At least with Fedora.  I would stick with a card that has 
either Atheros or Realtek chips in 'em.  Note that I said card.  You'll 
definately be going on the edge with a USB WiFi.

      If this is a standalone system, you'll be OK as far as bandwidth 
goes.  If you'll be streaming from a backend to a frontend, beware.  You 
might not get the bits you need at the speed you need 'em.
