Then I found my old USB Stick (Netgear WG111), put some effort in getting the right firmware and all and now I'm happily downloading the Fedora 10 32 Bit Live CD and I'm at the same time syncing my GMail account to my desktop using the new Offline Mode. All in all I'm currently using about 1 MBit/s which is not bad.

You are welcome.

Do add the output of lsusb for your USB Sick to close out this thread.
It can help a future user match hardware....
With vendors changing chips and others rebranding the same stick differently
it is good to know exactly what is involved.
