WUSB54GC v1 is silver-colored, v2 is white, v3 is black.
The unit shipped to me was black, unlike the picture. v1 and v2 are linux compatible. V3 does not work with linux. Be warned. Hassle and return issues may be in your future if you are buying this for use with linux.

No matter where I set the computer I had this installed on I only got 2 bars. 2 pretty weak two bars.

I wouldn't buy this again.

When I bought another cheap one, it got 4 bars anywhere, like the other wifi machines in my house.

It's cheap but if you only want 2 bars...

4.0 out of 5 stars No Windows 7 Driver on the CD, July 9, 2010

The instructions and a sticker on the product issue a stern warning to install from the CD before plugging in the device. Ignore that if you have Windows 7, because the CD has no Windows 7 driver and the Microsoft installer could not find one automatically on the Linksys Web site. It's there though, in the downloads section, and I was able to let Windows install this device after I copied the driver to my local hard drive. Now it works great!
