I know this is a subject that has been beat to death in Linux forums for
years, but I need to raise it again.  My employer has given me a
dual-processor 16 core server to use for serious computation in my home.
I intend to install SL 6.3 on it, and will eventually need to connect to
it via my wireless home network.  Included with the system is a Linksys
AE3000 USB wireless adapter.

I know that USB wireless support under linux can be a hit or miss
proposition, so I wonder if it is worth the trouble to try to get this
device to work, or should I just get a PCI-e wireless adapter that I
know is supported and save myself some grief.  I would appreciate any
advice or suggestions from people with experience with this or similar
wireless adapters.
