Has anyone had any luck with BAMT and wireless USB? I got the Ralink drivers install properly for the Tenda units I have but keeps switching off as if USB ports lose power. Going back to UBUNTU but hate the hassle there too.
A quick alternative would be to use a cheap range extender / repeater with an ethernet port, that can act as a wireless client, like the TP-Link 750. It may come handy especially if you like to try different distro, since you don't have to configure anything once the device itself is connected to the wireless network.
