My application did not require additional drivers. I hooked it up to an Android hdmi stick and it worked perfectly.

I did need to download drivers for my Windows 8 tablet. There was a slip of paper included with the adapter with a web address for download. After the driver installation, everything worked great.

Yes no drivers or disk required. Just plug it in, wait 1-2 min for Windows to detect it and it works.

This adapter does support LACP/802.3ad with the ProSet tools in windows. I am not sure what software/drivers support that function in general *nix environments however using the Linux based firewall software that I am using, it is supported.

The USB hub will work without a driver, but the Ethernet port will not. I downloaded the driver from the manufacturer's website. I went to www.inateck.com, support, drivers.

Hello, I believe Windows will download the driver automatically. If not you can easily go to the Asus website and get it for the adapter here. http://www.asus.com/us/Networking/USBBT400/HelpDesk_Download/

in the instructions yes but it's very simple to install. plug it in, connect the two 6 pin connectors and then update the drivers via a web search. very simple. there are youtube videos as well.

You have to download a "beta" driver from Netgear, but the Beta driver works great for my Windows 8.1 systems.. The drivers on my CD were for only Windows 7. The download process was easy.

As long as you have an available slot that it can fit in yes, the CD that comes with it may not work & then you will have to get on the internet via a ethernet line and download the necessary drivers.

I do not have Windows 8 but another user found this to be compatible with Windows 8 (see other questions asked) so I don't see why not. But if your built-in wi-fi capability is slow and unreliable, not sure that you may not need a driver update on your network card. Go to your laptop brand website and see if they have an update for the network card driver.

Yes, it does. You just need to install the driver which is already in the computer.

You don't need to use Linksys drivers. It just uses the generic Windows stack and works fine, at least for what I use it for. Just plug it in and Windows will automatically load the generic drivers. It's the same for most bluetooth adapters these days. I have 3, none have their own specific drivers.

Do you have the wireless adapter for the PC? It should recognize it once the drivers are installed.

a driver is included that locates the unit and installs fairly easily. i am on windows 7 and can't speak to other OS's but it takes everything in a big house from 2 bars to 4 or 5 with very little fluctuation in the signal strength. linksys does have a good live chat support that you could ask the compatibility questions before purchasing

Yes. You will need to go through a brief setup to get the ethernet connection working.

i got it to work in linux mit 14, and if it works in linux it should work in win7 x64. you may need to DL the drivers with another NIC, or via USB from a different box that does have a working net connection. though.
