Works in Kali
Works on my macbook air running Kali linux no drivers required, it was plug and play.Seems to go into monitor mode as well.I was very impressed as the last one I had was a pain to get working!

Worked out of the box on my Linux system
The adapter come with a small installation guide, which at first reading made me think I would need to install a driver for use with my Ubuntu (24.02) system. I couldn't find one that matched the adapter, when searching by model number. However, after plugging it in to my PC, it just worked after a normal Ubuntu update. Speeds were very good (as fast as the USB ports on my aging PC would allow).

WIFI USB DONGLE
Good wifi USB, a bit slow, very useful and does the job for the price.

Excellent product worked straight out the box with Linux
Having recently switched to Linux I have had lots of problems with Wi-Fi dongles. This one worked straight out of the box on Linux (Zorin 17.2 core). It connected to my phone's Wi-Fi hotspot on 5 gigahertz on channels 36 + 42 ( something none of the other dongles could do). I have an unlimited data plan for £18 a month and I'm getting 100 Mbs + download and 50Mbs+ upload speeds on 4G. So very happy, particularly at the speed and ease with which this product was installed and worked.

Worked well
Worked straight out of the box on Ubuntu as of 03/25, downloaded and installed drivers anyway though.

Fire whoever wrote your Linux drivers
Having received an installation CD with drivers for the product, I then attempted to install said drivers on my Linux machine. Much to my dismay and disappointment, running the install script popped up a tonne of errors on my terminal. If I had more knowledge in C programming, maybe I could've solved the issue myself but even enlisting the help of someone who know's C didn't help. Eventually, I ended up finding some drivers on a GitHub page, some of which froze my machine, and one that eventually worked...I get that Linux has a small market-share of all PCs in the world but that doesn't mean you should make shiny, excellent, marvellous install wizards for the big two (Mac and Windows) then give Linux half the attention. If you don't have the time/manpower to spare for Linux, then don't support it at all rather than sell us, the buyer, false dreams that your product will work out the box. I hope the makers of this product will see this review and make improvements to the drivers.P.S. Please put the drivers on your website. Upon visiting the site, the drivers for this model WiFi dongle are nowhere to be found

Simple and fast with Ubuntu 24.04
Installation involves downloading and running a script. No questions were asked. The link was live immediately and I'm getting 434 Mb/s over a 5.18 GHz link. My only quibble is that the antenna doesn't rotate so, if you have horizontally orientated USB ports, your antenna will also be horizontal. Of course, it's easily fixed with a USB extension cable.
