2007-07-06Reviewer: Darren SlevinI only recently got broadband at home and I needed a wireless USB adapter for the desktop. I decided to go with this one. It works great with windows. Very easy to configure. I also have kubuntu (feisty fawn) on the desktop (a dell dimension 3000). It literally took 2 minutes to get it going using WPA (granted I just copied the wpa_supplicant.conf from my laptop, also running kubuntu, and the script that I run in order for the laptop to connect to the access point in the house - all thanks to a friend of mine). The linux driver works great. Thanks to the other reviewers for putting the link there.
So yeah, I'd recommend this gizmo and its a steal at 36 euros.

2006-01-21Reviewer: ngJust installed this device on a centos4.1 install with no issues. The drivers for this are linked below as the previous link seems to be out of date. Seems to be a well supported driver.

Working away nicely so far. Recommended if you need a usb device for linux that is easy to install.
On the form factor side its a bit bulky compared to some but at least it looks sturdy.
