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

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely easy way to add Ethernet to your computer, November 7, 2006

By	herman_m "herman_m" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most useful thing I've ever ordered., November 24, 2008

By	Harry Chambers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
