I have used a WG511 for about 1 year.  In FC3 it is very close to a
"just works" installation.  You only need to visit
http://www.prism54.org to download firmware and copy it to /lib/firmware
(location is different for FC2).  The prism54 driver module is part of
the standard FC2/3 kernel.  I don't believe the driver supports WPA-PSK,
otherwise I have been satisfied with its performance.
