Oh man this would have been perfect for a buddy of mine with an old Titanium PowerBook G4 looking to connect to his family’s 802.11g network. Alas, no Mac support at all, to say nothing about the old Tiger-based G4.
I have zero use for this, but at 7 bucks who gives a fuck. Buy the motherfucker and throw it in the fucking trash if it doesn’t work. Also handy for a fucking backup.
It’s too bad these are 2.4GHz only. Less interference in the 5GHz band usually on these N adapters. You probably wouldn’t get any range at 5GHz with something that has such a tiny antenna though.
According to this PDF, the adapter does support Linux, but I couldn’t find any Linux drivers on their website. Although, I did find a couple of forum postings from people who have managed to get this adapter to work under Ubuntu.
