    I wouldn't pay more than $10 for any USB wireless G adapter these days. $30 is ridiculous for this aging device.

    These things are crap. Avoid at all costs. I bought one four years ago for about this price. No idea what the heck this is doing here, like a relic from the past.

    careful if you want to run Windows 7. Many wireless NICs are not supported yet. Older ones may never be.

    There will be workaround if not drivers #6, network adapter chipset manufacturers can't afford not to support them, although often you may need the normal old-school zipped up or self-extracting driver files for the respective chipset instead of those damn do-it-all installers that check to see if they can find a branded device they *like* before doing the install.

    Even so, it does little good now, you don't want to buy then be waiting around for a frickin' nic driver.
