i was also suspicious about mlan (and i can understand your frustration about the firestation). the firestation was an older mlan1 (s200) product and was hobbled by the first versions of the mlan drivers/firmware (in addition to problems with certain 1394 chipsets). however, the current drivers are solid - no problems here. in fact, firestations have become so cheap that i'm thinking of adding one to my rack
just for perspective, all interfaces (and protocols) that i know of have experienced initial teething problems that are eventually ironed out. the downside of being an early-adopter is that you also become an unpaid beta tester (which sucks, but happens).
i should point out that even my fireface was unusable/buggy for the first few months after i bought it. but, since the drivers have been fixed, it's earned a very good reputation.
everyone's entitled to their opinion, but dismissing mlan because of it's initial bugs (which have been fixed) doesn't make much sense to me. mlan works and the hardware's great, imo.
