Good price, but NO realtek chipset

Pros: Cheap USB Wifi stick.

Cons: - Stick is very wide, on a hub the next USB slot cannot be used anymore

- No RT chipset, like mentioned in the ad. This took me much longer to get it working. It is a ZD1211B chipset, from the company Zydas. http://www.zydas.com.tw/

- CD bag was sticking to CD. Therefore it was very difficult to get all files from the CD. Now they are safely stored on the network ;-)

Other Thoughts: OK price, but product descriptoin does not match the actual product

Bottomline: Good price and with the right drivers got it working in Windows.

I don't know if it will work with linux, since it is a ZD1211B chipset instead of the Realtek chipset in the product description
