Pros:

works great on my debian box.
04:00.0 Network controller: RaLink RT2860
04:00.0 0280: 1814:0781
with my default wireless card:
quality signal between 24/100 to 44/100 not stable
with alfa and gain antenna (no difference between the 2 model)
quality signal between 53/100 to 55/100 very stable

Cons:

max power 500mW, not 2W

Pros:

-driver download realtek RTL8187L,
- works good also with de second antenna for outside on magnet.
- range about 800 mtr outside, and in the city about 400 mtr

Cons:

Nice network dongle ,
The build quality isn'f perfect, but you get lots of extras to compensate for that.
usb cable, extension cable with magnetic base, backtrack3 cd
- when you are mobile..(works good)
- also for Home use
-BT3 does not work on my PC with windows 7

Other Thoughts:

For me he is doing well, especially on the road

Bottomline:

-Nice buy,
- price is okee,
- good delivery

Pros:

In general it is RTL8187L, brings good complements and drives.
Two antenna-based removable media magnet and very useful for use in notebooks.

Cons:

and above average quality IS NOT 1000mW 2000mW is running an original 1000mw alpha and matches the same pattern and numbering.

Other Thoughts:

.

Bottomline:

definitely a good occion with many components but if you really were what they announce. EXTREME DEAL is not allowed to be sold as something that is not really what you get. It took me a month and a half to get I think it is too.

Pros:

- RTL8187L (confirmed) so full out of the box GNU/Linux and injection support
- nice range
- detachable antenna

Cons:

The build quality isn'f perfect, but you get lots of extras to compensate for that. (usb cable, extension cable with magnetic base, base for the unit itself with sucker, backtrack3 cd)

Other Thoughts:

Though the build quality isn't perfect, it's not really a problem. I've dropped mine more than once, and it still works.
It works better with Windows if you download the official RT8187 drivers from the realtek site.
There is seriously a little one-page-glossy-fullcoloured manual included that describes how to use spoonwep to crack wep using the (also included) BT3 cd. It's even in pretty good English. I didn't expect that, very nice.

Bottomline:

Nice buy, everything I need for a good price. Delivery was right on schedule, packaging was good.
