Amazon Verified Purchase
I could not find anywhere in the Amazon description or on the package that these only work with 32 bit Windows Vista and XP.
It is however listed on the manufactures website under "features" as "Windows Vista32/XP32-bit support".
I contacted support and they said it was a limitation of the driver provided by the chip manufacturer and that they were in the final steps of developing a 64 bit Vista driver and promised to add my email address to a notification list. I'll add an update if I ever hear from them but I will probably be returning these because I don't have any more 32 bit Windows systems to use these with.
Note: In one of the other reviews they mentioned that they did not supply the cable from the adapter to the device or hub, this is understandable. The cable needed is the same one you should already have to attach the device/hub to your computer.
[edit] The drivers for 64bit Windows are now available and this product works great. I would change my start rating to a 5 but it wont let me.

I ordered this product to be able to move the printer off of my desk. Had it up and running in less than 10 min. I have Windows Vista and the correct drivers for the adapter were in the enclosed CD. The number of bars displayed on the wireless connection monitor almost reaches the maximum, with my printer placed 10 feet away. I haven't yet tried scanning, but printing works great.

I bought this to connect my iPod docking station which is currently sitting on top of my Hi-fi stack. Syncing with the PC is a real pain as it involved extracting the fiddly cable from the mess of wires that develops at the back of the stereo every time.
Set-up works great and driver installation is a doddle. For me it works great at a range of 10ft or so.
Would recommend - thinking about getting one for my printer.

Not Portable for Photogrphy but Better Solution Out There
