Mini WiFi USB Wireless Network Adapter Dongle Adapter 150Mbps - Black Reviews
Excellent value . Very compact, have been using it for a month now. It is great, no issues. I got this for about $10, and couldn't be happier. It is very small, about an inch in size. Comes with some software for adding networks, browsing for networks, etc. Highly recommended for a cheap, compact solution.

Mini WiFi USB Wireless Network Adapter Dongle Adapter 150Mbps - Black Opinions
Excellent Product! . Love this WIFI adapter. I am particularly impressed by how short it is and therefore, does not stick out too far from the actual computer. Allows me to use the desktop on WIFI while keeping the computer flush against the wall.

Excellent . Product worked perfectly for me. I have an older PC that I keep in the spare room, and I didn't want to run wires all over my apartment. I plugged the little bad boy in and I was on the internet in no time...literally. I think from start to finish the whole process took less than 7 minutes. Excellent all around, shipped quick -- and arrived a day earlier than estimated.
Good deal . This is super small and perfect for what i needed. My laptop wireless card failed, so i plug this in on the side USB and all set.
Cons Review
Does NOT Work on Linux . I tried using this under Ubuntu 10.04 and it is NOT compatible, and it will not be compatible under any other current Linux distribution (as of March 2011) due to an unsupported chipset.
The Linux driver is included in source form (this itself is a good thing since it won't be tied to a specific kernel version), and you need to manually configure and use the Make tools in order to build it (this is not a good thing since the average user will not figure out what to do - they should have made an automated installer). The default build target is the RT3070 chip, but this product uses the RT3370 chip. The 3370 chip is not supported by any Linux drivers, including the drivers on the CD that came with it - I tried changing the target to 3370, and although it did build, the resulting .ko file gave an error when trying to `insmod` it. They are most likely including drivers for the wrong product, or an older version of the product that used a different chipset.
Product info (from `lsusb`):
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 148f:3370 Ralink Technology, Corp.
As for the product itself, it's nice and small, with the body being about a centimeter longer than the USB connector that fits into the port. On my computer it fits tightly, so I have to pull hard to remove it, and I'm worried that over time it could come apart. The only good thing about the product that I've seen so far is how cheap it is. It's too cheap to return so I'll pobably give it to some windows user since I assume that if any of the drivers on the disc work it would be those.

Didn't work for me might be my fault . I bought this for my brother in law. His Asus laptop had an issue where the wireless had stopped working. So I got this and tried everything to get him connected again. Nothing worked. There is a good chance that it was not the fault of this product. It might be the laptop or my inability to get the settings right. But a five star product should be easy to use and intuitive.
Just take my review with a grain of salt. I might be an idiot.
