    Pros: none

    Cons: only works on Win 2000 and XP

    It's very difficult to tell from the specs that this adapter is limited to two operating systems Win 2K and XP. Since the other Linksys network components had no such restriction, this came as a big surprise. If you buy in a store, you'll s...ee a small sticker on the box that alerts you, but internet advertisements pretty much gloss over this crucial fact Read more Less

    Pros: Compact, usb connectivity (saves pci slots)

    Cons: Has problems connecting in ad-hoc mode

    I bought this adapter because it has usb 2.0 connectivity and doesn't occupy a pci slot. At first i didn't buy an access point because i wanted to connect in peer to peer (ad-hoc) mode. After months of struggling, i realized that it simply ca...n not work in this mode and only works in infrastructure networks. After buying a wireless router, it started working flawlessly. Overall, I think it's a nice wireless adpater especially for PCs with no vacant pci slot. Just remember to include a wireless access point or router in your buying list. Read more Less
