They're based on the well-known and well-supported Prism chipset, which means that they are usable on most any OS, usually with drivers already provided out-of-the-box. IMO, they have the best price/performance around, and with connectors for external antennas, you can obtain the highest levels of performance. Senao is re-sold in a number of markets under various names, including Engenius, and many others. Highly recommended. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
