Kernel (uname -r):
Distribution: Slackware 13.1



I bought 3 of them for $15 with shipping. One I let go with an old laptop. It was working with XP when it left. The other two I still have. One of them has stopped working in XP and Slackware after only a couple weeks use. The other I just took out of the pack today, hope it works longer. The first one worked great for a couple weeks and this one is working great so far, but I really can't recommend a product that failed in less than a month of use. I would send it back, but I bought it a long time ago and it wouldn't work with Puppy so it didn't get used until I installed Slackware.
