From the code used for the promo code, I'm just guessing, but I think it ends in an hour.

50% off w/ promo code 0329VERSALE216, limited offer

I bought three a week ago, and just now got around to trying them.

They ARE completely plug-and-play on my Lenovo Win10 laptop.

$6.99 - 50% off = $3.49

Useful for those little 11.6" Win10 netbook / laptops with eMMC and SD card slots, but no ethernet jack.

In for one.What I'm going to do with it? Well, I guess I'll figure that out later.

Newegg promos/codes/etc generally roll over at midnight Pacific Time, fwiw, but the code is still working now, as well. Anyway, thanks, I grabbed one, too. I don't have an immediate use for it, but for $3.50 out the door, it's worth having around should the need arise...

When I bought mine, I was going by the Newegg reviews (a couple) that indicated it was PnP in Win10. However, there were a few people complaining about a lack of drivers in Win7. So I don't know how well they work in Win7 or Win8/8.1.

They are "driverless" in XP, but that's because they enumerate a Mass Storage Device as well as the Ethernet Device, and the drivers for it for XP are self-contained in the unit. (I don't know if it includes Win7 drivers.)

Win10, though, seemed to have the drivers built-in.

Code still works. Just ordered one for 3.50 shipped! Thanks OP!

Would be all over this if my ASUS transformer hadn't stopped charging. Can't even use it plugged in any more. :'(

This thing is inexpensive, you never know if you might need a USB-to-Ethernet adapter sometime in the future!

I don't know if they updated the Overview section of the product page after people complained or what (and/or for that matter why they didn't just include a link to the apppropriate page on Realtek's site), but it seems drivers for all Windows versions >= XP (among others) are in fact available if it doesn't auto-install...
