I have to disagree on at least one point here - Battery life. I don't 
think 3 or 4 days standby and several hours of talk time makes for a 
horrible battery life.

The F1000G has other faillings, but battery life isn't one of them!

Mine works with both WEP and WPA. It just occasionally won't re-attach to 
an access point (iwthout rebooting) and won't roam between access points 
at all.

I think for the cost (and you can get them cheaper than from Scan!) 
they're not bad, but still in the experimental/toy category than something 
I'd deploy to clients.
