After a 3 minute installation,This 10/100 USB Network Card has worked flawlessly connected to my Cable Modem. This network card doesn't require its own IRQ which solved a lot of my hardware conflicts. However since it doesn't have its own IRQ it can slow other USB devices connected to your machine. For example I have a Microsoft USB Mouse also connected. I notice a slight pause in mouse movement whenever I open the browser. It isn't enough to hinder my progress, and certainly a USB device such as a scanner or CD writer wouldn't be affected due to the fact that these devices typically aren't used at the same time as browsing the internet.In conclusion this USB device has worked great and even solved many of my hardware conflicts as it doesn't require an IRQ. I recommend it.
