1WASTE  Mar 26, 2009
By Ermin Bucknor "MINBUC"
This purchase is a waste. The seller does not indicate that a driver has to be installed. What is worse is that a special program is needed to open the driver if one is using windows XP.

3Mixed Bag, works if you get the right one.  May 26, 2010
By Some techie guy
The problem with these things are they all look alike, but there are several different chipsets out there.

My first order of these came from HDE, and used the DM9601 chip. Worked great, automatically detected by Debian and OpenBSD. Needed drivers for windows (untested). Had no problems on the BSD box, so I decided to order more.

My second order came from eforcity. These....weren't so great. They used a fullwin FY-618SM chip which again required drivers in Windows (untested), and wasn't recognized by either Debian or OpenBSD.

Searching amazon, I'm also coming across an "Agiler" version which physically looks identical. I have no idea how that one stacks up.

So Buy at your own risk.

(At least they're cheap)

4Works  Mar 17, 2009
By William Bagley
I got 2 of these ethernet to usb adapters from HDE. They came very fast, in a few days. When I plugged them in, however, they did not work on my Pentium II IBM Thinkpads running on Ubuntu Linux 6.06. Oddly enough, I had an Airlink USB Ethernet Adapter that did. The return policy is not good for these, because the shipping costs more than the unit and shipping is not refundable in either direction. I was going to consign them to my spare parts pile for later experiments, but I found something interesting happened. The ethernet cable was recognized when I upgraded the Thinkpads to either 8.10 or 8.04 Ubuntu! They work smoothly on these operating systems and are "plug and play" (at least when installed before booting them up). My only concern is that when I unplug them that they are slightly hot, but so far they have not failed to function and I have done a fair amount of web surfing and downloading through them.

1Adaptor does not work for Mac  Apr 25, 2011
By Kristen Azuelos
This product does not work for my Macbook air
I wish I knew before
Normally the plug adaptors work for every type of computers, windows or macs
It should be said in the description
I spent a few hours reading blogs and downloading drivers, but failed.
This one does not work on mac so I returned it to the seller cmple and I asked for a refund of the product plus the cost to ship it back.
I hope I will get a refund

1No driver support for this item!!!  Feb 11, 2011
By vvansant
As far as I'm concerned, these are best used as shims rather than an Ethernet device. Product did not include a CD with Windows drivers, nor have I been able to find any suitable drivers online.
