Edimax EW-7711UTN WiFi nLite Mini-Size Wireless N USB Adapter

I have this usb adapter working under Ubuntu 10.4 but only after blacklisting the rt2x00 modules
If you are new to Linux and prefer not to mess under the hood then this device isn't for you.
If you willing to give it a go simply do this,

1. Unplug your USB WiFi adapter and restart your computer.
2. In terminal: sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

add these lines to the end of the file:

blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb

Save the file

3. Insert your USB wifi device.

I only give it 3 stars because of the need for the blacklisting which shouldn't be necessary since its listed by the manufacturer as Linux friendly.

Does exactly wat it says on the tin. exellent little dongle. Easy to install, no problems with connecting straight away and unlike 1 star review. connectivity is good/exellent.
for £10.99 its a steal .. unlike some of the mini dongles at £30+
sticks out about 2/3rds of an inch.

Ok I have a ratty old desktop just recently I was sent a free BT home hub and I didnt have anyway to connect to it I had seen this recommended its cheap I mean come on its under 10 quid plug in switch on install driver from provided disc and away you go .

My set up is complicated a bit like Frankensteins monster and Im sure there is plenty I could do to boost the speed of this little number but right out of the box it works no problems at all and the connection speed is on par with what I had connected directly to an old fashioned router so I really cant complain .

Look if your looking for warp speed buy a more advanced and more expensive one if your looking for quick connection no fuss no muss with good speed then you cant go wrong with this its as simple as that you get what you pay for .

My built in wifi on my 5 year old Acer 3023 laptop stopped working when installing my new HTC desire software. I couldn't figure out the prolem so installed this dongle. Cheap, arrived quickly and was working within 2-3 minutes with my BTHomeHub. Just need to get my new HP wireless printer to bloody connect wirelessly.........

Really neat/small size adapter. Dead easy to set up and use via wizard, also manual on CD if you like to do it yourself. Works fine with Vista. Great VFM, Recommended.
