Product Description
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.

Until someone comes up with a Thunderbolt-Gigabit-Ethernet Adapter, this one is the fastest, what you can get from USB 2. No, you won't get true Gigabit-Ethernet speed although the adapter advertises itself as a Gigabit-Ethernet port to your switch. The bottleneck is the USB port. I don't blame Plugeable for this. But they should make it clearer, that you won't get real Gigabit-Ethernet speed.
What you get is 300-400 Mbit/s. And that is still 3-4 times faster, than Apples USB-Ethernet adapter and 10 times faster, than the real WLAN throughput of your Mac Book Air. Works perfectly with Lion after installing the latest driver.
Would recommend this as a standard accessory for every Mac Book Air owner.

Finally with the latest update to eee pad firmware, it is compatible with ethernet. This device works perfectly with the eee pad, allowing ethernet connection to a usb port. No drivers are required; the device is supported natively by the ics android 4 operating system.
