Project Evil, Yes, That's what I'd call the netgear MA111. This is the
most flakiest POS I have ever see. Eventually I got so pissed at it that
I calmly unplugged it from the USB port and forcefully wiped it across
the room at a high velocity rate into the wall but it still worked after
this and denied me the satisfaction I was looking for, thus I have
blacklisted netgear. Here is a tip for any company in the networking
bizz, NEVER PISS A SYSADMIN OFF!!!! I wish you all the luck in the
world, and some anger management classes because after this your going
to need it.
