I've been using this adapter to share an internet connection with my computer in my Basement. Upstairs I have a laptop and it's great to be able to move it around the house without loosing connectivity. While the adapter works fine, I was less happy with the connection sharing software included with it - yet another thing to start at boottime that sits in your little system tray. It was not very configurable and I had weird issues where I would have to restart brower windows and the like. I ended up disabling that software and using different sharing software (...) and everything has been working great. One annoying thing is I can't put the laptop to "sleep" and have it wake up and use the thing, you have to reboot. At the time I bought it (little over a year ago) they didn't support win2K except with some beta drivers that I used and have been working fine for me for over a year.

One caveat - since I bought this over a year ago I would hope that Intel has improved the software some. For my purposes it's been ideal, though.
