Comments:
Tested with a fresh install of the 32 bit DVD of Mandriva 2010 (4.3 Gb .iso download) on 26 Jan 2010. Initially it did not seem to work, but after running Drakconf a couple of times and after 2-3 systems restarts, I noticed it had been found (probably by harddrake at some point) and some form of drivers installed ok (no wired connection present).
WPA2 working fine.
Using EasyURPMI website, I configured 'automatically' the updates in the Software manager, and 30 mins later had downloaded all 379 Mandriva updates ok.
I tentatively plugged my WG111v3 adapter into a Mandriva 2009 install on another PC. Again, after a couple of reboots (not sure why it really needs 2-3 reboots, must be a harddrake issue!), it finally recognised the adapter and after an hour or so I had completely updated 2009.0 to 2010.0, plus all 2010.0 updates.

The connection is stable and I haven't detected any dropouts or disconnects.

In fact, I am so surprised it all seems to work I am trying to source a couple more WG111v3's, but they seem a little hard to come by now.
