Yes I would since I'm using that driver at home under a Gentoo machine 
already with a Netgear USB Wireless Adapter.

i recently bought a 3com office connect pcmcia card with that chipset. I
think i'll send it back. That driver is _so_ ugly. no support for
wlan-tools, nothing. Think i'll go and buy a netgear if noone has any
suggestions.

If you're planning to put an external antenna on it, buy an Orinoco,
really, save yourself the trouble.

The current Netgears are _not_ Prism II anymore, but they work with the
orinoco drivers.  They cannot be sanely connected to an external antenna
though.  The Orinoco costs a little more, but has the advantage that it is
built to connect to an external antenna from the beginning.

orinoco-drivers.

Hmmm sounds bad. Is there full support for it? I thought, they would be
prism2.5 or something...

Fully supported by the orinoco-cs drivers, but you can't do things like
change the transmit power beyond 30mW.  So yes, the functions which the
card supports work, but it's missing the things that the Orinoco cards
provide for these days just a few bucks more.
