  I’m amazed by this low cost usb wireless adapter. First things first, the package arrived as estimated in perfect condition. When plugged into my pc, Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit (karmic koala) recognized the adapter right-away and worked flawlessly out of the box. The beauty with ubuntu is, you don’t have to install any drivers if your adding a compatible hardware which is not really hard to find. This thing is 100% compatible so, linux users buy with confidence. The range is acceptable (found 8 wifi networks) plus WPA/2 works!

  I needed to purchase a USB wireless adapter after my son’s built-in adapter quit working on his laptop PC. The SMC wireless adapter has been performing flawlessly since we purchased it about 8 weeks ago. The computer gets a great signal anywhere in the house, and it hasn’t experienced any transient disconnects. Connection speeds are consistently at or near 54 MBPS.

  I needed a replacement Wifi adapter for my HP laptop because the OEM built in chip died. I bought this adapter because a review I read said it worked well with their Linux computer. In Linux it is true plug and play. I use Mepis Linux and I plugged it in, went to the Mepis control to input my WEP key and clicked apply and I was surfing the web. The link level of the OEM chip indicated 52. From the same spot in the house with this adapter my monitor reads 82.
  
  I have Windows Vista installed on this computer also and it works well with Vista too. The included software CD was needed for Vista and after inputting the WEP key in Vista I had to reboot Windows to get it to work, but it works well once it is installed.

  Very happy with this adaptor. I bought it specifically to work with a Thecus N299 network attached storage unit. It was one of just 4 recommended adaptors. I think because it doesn’t get hot like many of these do. Very happy.

  Easiest installation ever, just plug it in to any Linux machine and your ready to surf the interwebz at your pleasure. I’m running Ubuntu 9.10 and like other reviewers have said just plug it in and go! Only gripe is that it doesn’t have the best signal strength, but it works well enough.

  Once I ran the setup disk and installed the software (which took less than five minutes) I was hooked up and ready to go. After setting up the connection once, all you have to do is plug it into the USB port. It doesn’t overheat fast (maybe after 3 days continuous hook-up) and cools down in about 5 minutes. I’ve experienced no problems with it finding the signal of our router, upstairs and through several walls. It came with a USB extension cord and installation disk. Has no problem handling our speed of (far under what it claims to be able to handle) 1Mbps. I’ve had it for over two years with no problems. Fantastic for the price.
