IMHO so is the quality of the Linksys hardware, in this case.  I have a 
WAP11 boxed up in my bonus room because of day-to-day oddities and 
throughput problems that I haven't been able to nail down (and haven't 
had time to fully test).  The Orinoco tirelessly works without fail, 
unnecessary reboots, or anything else.  True, for home use the Linksys 
is probably okay, depending on the level of babysitting you want to do 
with your AP, but I would seriously think twice before deploying 
anything but a Orinoco,  perhaps a Cisco, on a business network.
