Tested and works great! Works with White Russian and Kamikaze. Unfortunately, Asus has discontinued this product. When it was available it retailed for around $80.00. Asus has a version 2 out with downgraded processor and cheaper hardware.
update note 8/9/2010: This guide is for the Asus WL-500g Premium version 1 which has the Broadcom 4704 (Broadcom 4318). Asus rereleased the WL-500gP with a slower chip that is not yet supported.
