I found that with this card I had to install drivers even when I was using Windows XP, the manual says XP should have the drivers as standard. This is just a slight inconvenience as the drivers are contained on the included CD and are avaliable for download free from the Belkin web site.
Due to the USB connectivity, expect a ping 10ms higher than if you were using a PCI to Ethernet adaptor or onboard LAN.
Also the adaptor acts as a bottleneck to data transfer, and allows only 200KB/s (kilobytes not kilobits) transfer speed. (Around 4 times the speed of standard "512k" broadband.)
In conclusion, if you aren't prepared to open your PC up and install a card, this adaptor is for you (this or a FireWire network, or a USB to USB network), but if you can use a PCI adaptor they are cheaper and faster than this USB device. Also USB uses your processor time, unlike a PCI adaptor or onboard Ethernet.

This Product is great news if you want broadband for your computer its quick and easy, this device allows you to plug it straight in a free USB port on your computer without needing any software or opening up your pc. This product is especially good for NTL: Home Broadband, it makes self-installation broadband easy, with no fuss!

This item was delivered as expected. Unfortunately, the supplied driver software, on CD, was rejected by Windows XP SP2 and a download from the Internet was required to allow the adapter to be installed. Windows came up with a warning to the effect that to continue with the driver from the CD could cause the whole system to corrupt.

Works for Digicorder K2
Good for german cable box Technisat Digicorder K2.
But you may go for the Technisat original adapter which is only 20 Euro.
It came out a week after I bought this one :-(
