Will this adapter work with Linux?

Hi Leon, It looks like it is made to run on a windows PC. Read the installation manual: http://support.2wire.com/view/769/Installation_Guide.pdfHowever for the price it may be worth trying on Linux and see if any drivers are found to run it.Good Luck,A.

I believe it will work with Linux. I do have a fair return policy if it doesn't work.

I believe it will the driver for it is pretty basic. Mint is the best Windows like flavor of Linux (IMO) and it's "plug and play" has always worked with anything I have installed.

If your usb port is 2.0 It should work. I don't think Ubuntu would have anything to do with it.

Tested and working under many flavors of Linux. It uses the very common rtl8187 driver, so it'll work under just about anything.

Yes. It will work. But you need a special driver for the adapter itself. I dont exactly remember which ones got it to work.

the adapter is compatible to access drives, but the software is not compatible with linux.

If it has a USB 3.0 port, runs Windows or Mac OS X (not sure about Linux), then it should work just fine.

I have used it to boot vista and windows 7 on a usb 2.0 slot. Not sure if Linux is diffrent but I would assume it would work.

The adapter works out-of-the-box for me with my Asus UX31A running Arch Linux.

I would be very surprised if it did not work with them, because its compatibility is entirely managed via the USB connection. Any OS that handles USB well should detect it just fine. It even works great with my Ubuntu Linux machines.

I used it to install Linux on an old XP computer, so I don't know why it wouldn't. You plug in its two USB male ports (to get enough power, as it doesn't use AC nor battery power) and it seems to be a fully functional DVD drive.

I only used this with a Windows pc. It you have the setup software it should work. But i am not a linux uaer. I hope this helps.

I haven't tried Linux, but as you say, they're just USB speakers after all, so I'd expect they would. I didn't have to install any specific drivers to get them to work on my Windows 8 machine.

I am not sure if it works with ME. However, based on both my experience and other reviews I have read online, I would not recommend this adapter for any Operating System.

I have not used it with Linux. I have used it with Win7 and Win Server 2008. It uses "Realtek" technology, if that helps. It should work with Linux.

Yes It will work, but you will have to install the drivers using a DOS method. "Device=*****" this must be written in your config.sys file of your dos operating system

I tried it with Ubuntu (v12.01) OS, but it didn't work with the plug and play drivers built into the OS. The driver needed is called display link, so if you're able to successfully install this driver on linux or raspberry pi OS then it will work fine. The following links might help you out...goo.gl/DcRvaggoo.gl/HACF7mgood luck Steve
