Impression:Good value,good build quality;

Pros: - Inexpensive - Works out of the box, not only on a Linux desktop, but on my OpenPandora handheld - Sturdy build quality Cons: - You'll want to spend a buck on a little 0.5 foot USB extender tail so it doesn't act as a lever to stress your USB port. - Runs warmer than some USB Ethernet I've... Pros: - Inexpensive - Works out of the box, not only on a Linux desktop, but on my OpenPandora handheld - Sturdy build quality Cons: - You'll want to spend a buck on a little 0.5 foot USB extender tail so it doesn't act as a lever to stress your USB port. - Runs warmer than some USB Ethernet adapters I've had, which means it's not the most efficient choice if your device is going to run off battery power.

Very cheap (about half the price of such adapters in stores). I bought it to use it for IPTV multicast (since you need to have a seperate) on my computer and I can watch up to 4 FULL HD channels at once with this adapter, that is more than enough if you consider that you only watch one chanel 99%... Very cheap (about half the price of such adapters in stores). I bought it to use it for IPTV multicast (since you need to have a seperate) on my computer and I can watch up to 4 FULL HD channels at once with this adapter, that is more than enough if you consider that you only watch one chanel 99% of the time. None up till now. Does the job. Needs no driver install if remember correctly. If you need a cheap and easy to use USB LAN adapter this will cover the needs of most normal users. Read more

Works with any recent Linux distribution out of the box. It is reliable, no lockups or freezes. As rating suggests, build quality is very good. None really.

It is reliable, no lockups or freezes. As rating suggests, build quality is very good. None really. As a note here I would mention that one may use some USB extension cable in case USB ports are close to each other. This adapter is wide enough to block adjacent USB ports. I use it for laptops which have single gigabit LAN connection which is used to receive mirrored traffic from network switch. Thus I needed additional interface (100Mbit/s is more than enough) to control these laptops remotely. I bought two of them in July 2010 and I ordered another one since then. I've never tested it with any non-Linux OS. Some outputs ...

I bought this adapter primary for my WDTV Gen2, and working fine, just plug and go.

(Thanks for the great custom firmware to Padavan - it need MCS7830 driver which is sadly missing from the b-rad firmware right now) 100mbit real transfer rate, so, it is a nice and cheap stuff. None, even the color match with WDTV :) If you have WDTV G2, and need wired network support, go for it! (but first get the best custom firmware from Padavan, to have a correct driver support too ;) Read more
