(Sorry to reply so late, I'm not good at paying attention to lists)
Two out of 30+ of the SMC cheapies so far have failed. One just stopped
working properly, no indication of anything. KN-50 still detected and
booted, just no link. The other failure instance had a small
pencil-eraser-sized circular char mark on the radio card and the label was
burned/melted and split and peeling back in that little area, too. Who
knows what that one was, it happened in the middle of a clear day and the
power supply was attached to a decent APC UPS. Random resistor failure or
something perhaps.
So far so good I think. I'm pretty satisfied with the way they're working
for me.

From then on I have used 180mW (marketed as 200mW) Prism 2.5
cards from
SMC since they are the cheapest I can find for producing a
big batch of
CPE. I get them for about $60/each. They also have a
detachable antenna so
you don't get an antenna spewing your signal all over inside whatever
enclosure it's in.
