…and it went very smoothly. I installed on a spare PC for now, but I could absolutely see this becoming my daily driver. I’m mostly surprised at how snappy and responsive it is, even on 10 year old hardware!

    I might do that in the end, but I’ve already ordered a different one that is supposed to be more Linux friendly. The other one was falling apart anyway - I had to sort of bend it back together.

      I had two different ones for a while and was suffering from occasional network dropouts that would force me to restart networking, and would sometimes take minutes to recover (DHCP discover) - eventually I had enough and bought a repeater + connected via cable. Interestingly enough, the “dropouts” would not allow new connections, but existing connections would remain active mostly. So it was definitely a driver issue.

        Well I might be going down that route if this new one doesn’t work. My PC isn’t in a good spot to connect directly, but a repeater is an alternative I hadn’t considered.
