    No LED light to check whether network is alive

    Good design and compact size.

    However there's no LED light to see whether the connected network is alive. This is iritating for mRead moree.

    And though this is not a review, I wish Apple include this into the package of MacBook Air. (Or make a discount if you purchase this simulatenously)

    Works with MacBook too!

    Written by JZ from WEST HOLLYWOOD

    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 StoRead 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!

    Perfect for Linux

    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). YouRead 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.

    Works with more systems..

    Written by GP from Aurora

    Feb 19, 2008

    I was able to get the adapter to work with a MacBook Pro and MacBook.

    It was bought because the ethernet adapter in the MacBoRead moreok is broken and out of warranty... The adapter wouldn't work on the MacBook at first but it would on the MacBook Pro. The MacBook wasn't updated to 10.5.2 and when updated (via airport), the adapter worked fine.

    This product works perfectly with my macbook air. Setup was quick and easy, all I needed to do was plug one end to my macbook airRead more and the other end to an ethernet cable and I was instantly on the network. Please be advised, just as the label says on the package, this product is "Compatible only with MacBook Air computers".

    Works with Mac Mini

    Written by TB from Pittsburg

    I purchased this device for my new Intel Mac Mini. I am using Leopard 10.5.2 and this adapter works perfect.

    When I plugged theRead 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.

    I was able to change this from a DHCP to a manual configuration without any issues.

    I rate this device 5 stars.
