Network Interface Card has big problems with Linux
Pros: The system is inexpensive and runs well overall.
Cons: If you are running Linux, beware. There is an issue with the Network Interface Card randomly resetting. I system as a web server for a customer and it was a nightmare troubleshooting the issue. I finally disabled the internal NIC and replaced it with another manufacturer's. The issue with the network that was a regular daily event has not reappeared in at least 6 months, since I replaced the NIC.
Garbage
Pros: None
Cons: The product simply would not associate with an access point using WPA2. I ended up purchasing a Belkin USB adapter which associated to the same access point on the first try. The software is poor, the quick start guide is folded very difficult to read as the print and pictures are very small. I am a Network Engineer and have been in the computer industry since the 1980s. This device should not be on the market.
