I picked one up when it was $10 AR. It's crappy (poor reception and software), but it works. Keep your driver CD, since you won't find drivers online.

Hot if it's free, I guess.

After trying all the cheapo usb adaptors, this is by far the best out there.

A quick 10 second search found the drivers online:
USB-400 USB Wireless LAN Adapter

ecost had these for free after rebate, but limit one per household.
Can now add to my collection.
Thanks!


EDIT:
Ends up costing $10 after rebate.
Looks like another company that hits you on the backside with extra high shipping charges.
Cheapest ground is $9.40 for an item that weighs less than 1/4 pound, in a small package.
Even though it's still worth the money, I'll pass due to not wanting to reward ripoff shippers.
At least ecost only had a $2.95 or $3.95 handling fee.

The 14-day turnaround on filing for rebate also makes me "nervous" IF there's any delay in shipping!
