I don't normally look at a mail-in rebate as a good deal.  I'm still out the money until I get the rebate back in 3-4 months.  This is still dependent on me sending the rebate off and them actually processing it and getting me my money.

Anyway, I was a pleased to get a nice confirmation e-mail from Linksys today that they've received my latest rebate request that came with my new router and I should expect the check in two weeks.  The email also gave me a tracking number I could use to check the status of my request on this website.

This still doesn't speed up the process (submitted in early December and today is February 27th) but at least I know I'm going to get my $15!
