It would help for making decisions on which brand to buy, if there were a notice in the source code, e.g.: _device successfully tested (802.11abgn)_ - other devices don't get any comment. This way, I would be completely content with the practice to fire in blindly every ID of each existing device containing a Ralink chipset. Kind regards, Andreas
