Synopsis
Easily add a network interface to your computer via USB. Common uses are for improved speeds vs. 10/100 adapters and wireless networks, for replacing a broken internal network card, for adding a separately routable network interface, and for peer-peer file transfer over Ethernet. It is not a solution for connecting a USB device to a network.

Performance

Plug into any USB 2.0 laptop or desktop currently limited to 10/100 ethernet, and benefit from faster transfers on your Gigabit Ethernet Network. USB 2.0 supports theoretical speeds up to 480Mbs. In practice, most machines will see up to a doubling of network speed by moving from 100Mbs Fast Ethernet to 1000Mbs Gigabit ethernet via USB. Also works on 10/100 ethernet networks at their native speeds.

Drivers

Microsoft signed 32/64-bit drivers for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000, ME, and Win98SE. Mac OS X support limited to 32-bit kernels and users of Mac OS 10.6 and later must download the latest driver from plugable.com. Driver for Linux kernels 2.6.9+ (advanced users only: must download source from ASIX and build as a kernel module). Not compatible with Tivo Series 2, Wii, or most other non-PC devices.

Included in Package

USB 2.0 to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with standard make USB type A connector to PC and female RJ45 jack to network, Quick Install Guide, and Driver Disk for Windows, earlier Mac versions, and Linux.
