Whilst perusing Usenet on Sun, 25 Feb 2007 15:54:38 -0700, I read

Had me hunting all over the internet there !
You mean a 'D-link WNA2330' ?

According to the info I have from my potential purchase source,
it's not an 'Atheros' chipset (as fitted in the F5D7000)

The F5D70_10_, which I'm looking at,
uses a 'Ralink RT2500 chipset' !

Unfortunately the D-Link WNA2330 doesn't appear to
be available here (UK).

Thanks anyway.
