Just to note, this adapter's chipset (RTL8187L) has does not work perfectly in Linux so far. However, with the latest kernel at least the connection does not seem to drop any longer. The connection speed has been reported to drop over time down to 1mbps though.
 
Not so much of a big deal now that they are OOS, but i ordered 2 of these about 6 months ago. One of them died about one month ago. The second one is extremely flakey, dropping connection randomly and needs to be disconnected/reconnected to work again.
