Strengths: G speed, Works as Access Point too, Works under GNU/Linux.
Weakness: A little wide; and I just think it's a bad decision on their part not to provide a Vista driver on a device that was sold AFTER Vista was released.
The ZyAIR G-220 includes software for Windows, but also now works under GNU/Linux using the zd1211 driver available at SourceForge. This device uses the ZyDAS chipset. I have the ZyXEL 550 wireless router - excellent router. So I bought this for my XP box. Works fine. I've got it working under Debian on my Powerbook. However, though the adapter is pretty good with windows xp, it is not for vista....
Strengths: Very good
Weakness: none
this is the best G-220 Network Adapter (802.11b/g, 54 Mbps, 256 Bit WEP, WPA) I have ever had because it gives me better connection when it connect to a usb devices. it offers exactly 54 mb per second as described in the information by the manufactures. Overall I like it very much!
