Anything using Atheros parts should work with the current driver. The 5212 is the MAC of choice; it can do some very useful stuff not yet supported by the driver but coming soon (e.g. multi-rate retry, QoS, compression, XR mode, etc.). The 5111/2111 radios are the "previous generation" and have been replaced by the 5112/2112 which are noticeably better. $99 is a bit high given that these radios are "last years model". Sam
