By golly, you are right! There are a lot of negative reviews of it, but it worked out of the box for me with hostapd. I just had my android phone connected to it and updated several market apps. No problems encountered. It appears to have a ralink chipset which is mentioned in the linux wireless website as supported. Hopefully by the time this belkin dongle dies, the linux support will be stable for the RTL8192cu in the first dongle I bought :-). -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
