Hmmm, if what you say is true, I'd better double-check.  I don't have
access to the machine in question right now, though, so I can't tell you
which kernel module it uses.

My receipt says the adapter I got was "Edimax EW-7318USg 54G 802.11
b/g".

The model was sold at http://lugradio.org/live/UK2008/ specifically as
"Just Works With Linux", which in my experience it did: that would have
been with Ubuntu/Hardy, though, not Debian.

More details later...

Dave.
