The ethernet jack on my 3-year-old MacBook (2GHz Intel Core Duo, running 10.5.6) stopped working, so I went to an Apple Retail Sto…Read morere to buy one of these adaptors. The staff told me it only works with a MacBook Air, but I was desperate and ignored their warnings. Thank God I did because it works perfectly! So even if you don't have a MacBook Air, buy this adaptor with confidence. It totally works!

I love this device: beautiful, cheap, light, and above all, it works out of the box if you are using Linux (2.6.26 and above). You…Read more just plug it in and you have a new eth1 network device.
I seemed to get the same download bandwidth than with my regular Ethernet connector.
This device is so much lighter that the one from D-Link (and others), and much more solid than Linksys'. I also recommend it on my blog.(69 of 74 people found this review useful)

When I plugged the…Read more adapter into a USB port of my Mac Mini with the ethernet side plugged into my Time Capsule the network connection was made without any effort on my part.
