I have tested this device on windows and gnulinux systems. Tested different wifi cards
on it. It never runs. The wifi cards can get hot.

Are there reports on this device working? Thank you.

sudo lsusb

The link says it does not support WiFi devices. Did you see that info?

Did you see that info?

No I did not. I apologize for the inconvenience. I did
not buy the item on amazon. On the site I bought the
device from, I did not notice if the description said
the device does not support wifi cards.

No worries. These things happen to us all, from time to time.

Do you know if there is an usb device which can
enable notebook pci wifi cards
to work?
