Was thinking about picking up a couple of these, any thoughts or opinions? Sure would be nice for a quick connection and setup, if they work well.
thanks,

they work great, quick and easy...
perfict for a brodband connection, but slow if you need to transfer alot of files.

I carry a couple of the Linksys 10/100 USB adapters in my kit, and one is on my bench. Handy for getting a system I've taken home to work on hooked up to broadband painlessly for driver or update downloads.
Very handy, easy to use, quick install.
Keep in mind that USB only supports up to 8Mbit data transfers, so it's slow if you're going to use it for file transfers, but it's more than fast enough for broadband.
