It works, well, sometimes.
It has the same problems in 431 and in Wary. Most of the time, it apparently cannot scan for wireless networks (or connect to any.) Xautoconnect will give the message "interface does not support scanning." It requires removing and reinserting the card to work properly (sometimes many, many times, checking to see if it works each time. Sometimes it works right away, sometimes I give up and try restarting.) When it works, it works really pretty well! Can pick up networks my phone or my old laptop couldn't.
Sometimes, and this is the big issue, when reinserting the card, it crashes. Everything. As in, holding down the power button to get it to do anything. No chance to find out any info there.
Occasionally, this will happen when booting the OS ... (I've only ever had this happen in Wary, but possibly only because I use it more.)
Then I get potentially useful information. But then I don't know what to do with it. Here it is:
