Update: 

After ordering a couple adapters (with detachable antennas)advertised as 3070 
chipset and finding out they were not. I finally came across one that was as 
advertised and works with the same drivers. 

One thing to not is it uses a little more current than the ASUS adapter but not 
much.



Premiertek PowerLink PL-H5DN-3070 IEEE 802.11n (draft) Wi-Fi Adapter - USB - 
150Mbps
