I puchased 5 of these for $2 each. Every one of them works great. I work with loose motherboards and many different computers all the time, and this is by far the best $10 + shipping i've ever spent on anything.

Don't listen to the people who simply don't know enough about computers to get them working. These are fantastic. Not the greatest throughput, but that's not what these are designed for. If you want a top-notch ethernet adapter for 24/7 use in a computer, GET A PCI CARD!!!

These USB adapters are a great way to get instant connectivity. Awesome for troubleshooting. For a technician like me, it's one of the most useful things in my arsenal. It also works great in recent Linux kernels without any special configuration. The speed is still very acceptable even though a normal PCI card will blow it away.

The (sorry, but really) ignorant person who gave this 1 star with the "FAKE CD" review has apparently just never heard of a mini-cd. You can use it in any standard CD/DVD-ROM drive as long is it isn't a slot loader. That's no reason to give the product a 1 star rating.

dm9601 chipset. Supported on Linux, but only very recent versions (2.6.21 or later).

Unfortunately not supported by the version of Linux included in latest Debian GNU/Linux release.

The ethernet that came with my home computer recently died. I ordered this one from work (during my lunch hour, of course). Initially, I was apprehensive with the packaging and "Made in China" written in the back. But after I finished installing it, I couldn't believe how easy it was. It literally took me five minutes to get it installed. I took it out of the box, plugged it into my USB port. Windows goes through its detection phase. I select "CD-ROM", put the CD driver in the CD tray, and clicked Next. Windows found the driver a few seconds later. I just moved the ethernet cable from the dead ethernet jack to this new one and I was surfing the web again. In fact, I'm writing this review using my new USB to Ethernet adapter! :)

The only difference was that the shell was green instead of blue, but green's my favorite color so I actually preferred the color change.

If your usb slot/port is vertical, you may have trouble with this. Because of the adapters bulkiness, combined with the weight of the cable you plug into it, the adapter keeps loosening from the usb port.

Just plugged it in and *BAM* new network interface (using Ubuntu 9.10--Karmic), no hassle, does what its supposed to, cheap too. I'm ordering several more.

I originally bought this adapter to connect my Wii to the internet, but it did not work. However, it did work fine with my vista laptop, so I recommend if you are looking for an adapter for your computer, this will work fine. It's a little tricky to install the drivers, and the connection is slower than normal, but otherwise it gets the job done.

The one I recieved buying from this listing is not an Agiler, it's a no-name brand. It has a number LK-2101 on a sticker in a package with no brand name.

The driver disk has drivers for various items that have other numbers, I can't tell which corresponds to the "LK-2101" I received or the Agiler AGI-1108 that it seemed I was buying.

So far, it's a pain. Let's see if I can get it installed, right now I'm trying to install the driver for the SR9600, whatever that is, that came on this disk, but I have no confidence that it's even the correct one for this item. There are also drivers for JP-1081 and and AX8872. None are certified, of course, but which is correct for an LK-2101?

OK, through trial and error, I found that this LK-2101 they sent me works with the disk's "JP-1081" driver in XP. It does seem to work.

I'm still not very happy with the misrepresentation.

I tried to use this with my chromebook cr-48 after reading that it might work. I ordered from Wowparts and it came pretty fast and in its retail packaging so it was legit. However when I tried to use it, it wouldn't work. I tried it on my chromebook, tablet, windows 7 laptop, windows vista desktop, linux laptop, and windows xp desktop. It worked on none of the computers because there were no drivers for it. The cr-48 doesn't need drivers and neither does the laptop but both of them wouldn't recognize the device even though it was being powered by the computers.

I got a refund and didn't have to send it back in. Good customer service for a bad product. It's not the reseller's fault but rather the manufacturer's.

I did compare this LAN USB Adapter to the others I found on Amazon. It is compact without any wires and it is plug and play. The red LED feature is also a very nice feature. It is fast, too. However, the bottom of this unit does get a bit too hot to the touch. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product.

This is an excellent little gadget for those older PCs that do not have an internal ethernet card. Easy to install and does the job. Great gadget at an excellent price.
