I too have had this experience. About 30 days ago I ordered an Airlink 101 300Mbps N Series Wireless Adapter and after checking on its status several weeks later, I heard from "Sheila" who said they were very popular and were on back order or some such thing. Still haven't received anything. The laptop I was going to put this adapter on is owned by an intern who has been staying with us. We were trying to help him tie into our wireless router in our home. He leaves next week, so not much need anymore. Kind of a bummer...
