It worked fine for five / ten minutes then went on a go-slow strike. After replacing the thing with a proper PCI network adaptor all problems disappeared. Some sources have suggested that those cheap / earlier type motherboards with under 500Mhz CPU so tend to act up with addon USB cards so its possible the things may work with better hardware. Personally I'm inclined to avoid USB anything as I have never had particularly good results from anything using that arrangement.
