	Anthony,
			Just looking at the pictures, the KLS660 has better screening on the  
circuit board, but the Linux compatibility should be the same if it has a  
Ralink chip set. The separate antenna would be be better for some  
situations, but cable losses can be quite high at these frequencies. Price  
is slightly less than the CPC ones, but I have no postage to pay on large  
enough orders.
