pwned: USB 1.1 interface (12 Mbps transfer rate), but hey for $4, what do you expect?
Anyone know if this works on Tivos?
is this almost the same deal as eforcity's
but that one is not available anymore
Seems like a good deal to me. Thanks
Any way to tell if it is compatible with Nintendo wii?

I would like to know this as well, if this would work for wii then i will get one.

FW moto: Buy first, think later.
USB 1.1 almost has to be old stock - modern adapters/chipsets all use USB2.0, which is the only way to get better than 10Mbit/sec Ethernet (the slowest twisted-pair speed, also known as 10baseT) out of one of these adapters. Most routers do 10/100 (if not 10/100/1000) these days, but it will almost certainly be a bottleneck for the device.

PRECISELY - more than fast enough, cheaper than a wireless ethernet adapter (assuming it is possible to run Cat5 wire).
I wouldn't risk it with the TiVo. I tried buying some no-name adapter like this and it didn't work with my TiVo.

I have been succesfully using a TrendNet adapter for more than 8 months, and it is not on the list - was like $5 at Frys B&M. If you are concerned, compare the chipset (Realtek RTL8150L) with those on the list that do and don't work.
I didn't think people still made usb 1.1 peripherals outside of keyboards and mice.
For those asking about the Wii, this one is $13.99 shipped, USB 2.0, and is advertised as working with the Wii.
