A handy gadget.

I have one of these in my computer junk drawer (a collection of adapters, plugs, gender changers, card readers & cables....sounds a bit like a circus side show but it never fails me!) and have found it useful on several occasions. At this price, it is worth having around.
Basically, you can plug your ethernet cable into the adapter and then insert the plug end into any USB receptacle on your machine (such as on a laptop or a TIVO, etc.). It therefore makes buying (or having) an ethernet card superfluous. It has connection & data transfer LEDs to tell you you've contacted the network, though these are not really necessary. No set up is required either, just plug and go.
As far as I can see, the connection is quite as stable as any hard wired one, and while it's true a USB 2.0-compliant adapter would allow for greater transfer speeds, on our network it has performed flawlessly.

Needed this for my OLPC. Worked out of the box with no drivers needed.

NOTE: works great with USB hub layout.

Would be a great product if it wasn't so flimsy

I bought this adapter about three weeks ago.
Last weekend when I moved my laptop, the flip up piece broke off.
I really didn't put much pressure on it, so I would recomend staying away from this model.

Get one that doesn't have flip up parts.

Free up a PCI slot! This thing works.

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2004

Nice item, and I now have removed my PCI ethernet card. Just use some tape to affix the cheap hinge and cord if you are going to use this item in a permanent desktop environment. For portables this may be too flimsy. Very fast for internet use, this does the trick.
