What versions of Linux will this adapter work with?

This adapter works with Red Hat 6/CentOS 6. With CentOS 6.5 and CentOS 7 this adapter is plug and play. I just tested this out on a Lenovo T440s with CentOS 7 because the laptop network adapter does not work. If you have to run a lower version of Red Hat 6, you may have to compile the driver - I put a youtube video under the mrlinuxinfo channel showing how to do this. For CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 I highly recommend this adapter.

It works on Linux Mint 16 (thus Ubuntu), openSUSE, and Debian out of the box. I haven't tested others.

It doesn't work with Red Hat 6. I don't remember if it worked with ubuntu, but surely, if you have Linux, you don't want this adapter. Look for other brands or models...

It should work in any port on the computer ,this has been what I have experienced with many Ive installed.

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.

It should work, if it works with other USB devices, i don't see why it wouldn't. Sorry if I am incorrect. I personally don't use linux. I use Windows 8.

OP, this is a genuine Alfa brand wireless adapter. Chipset used is Ralink RT3070.Wireless driver used in Linux is rt2800usb.Works with BT5R3 64 GNOME with no problems. Can't speak for other OSes.

It works with my Linux Mint OS. It was plug & play. That's about as good as it gets for the price.

Have had no driver issues in any version of linux I've used on this. That includes Ubuntu, Mint and Centos 7 so far. I suspect it will work with any recent version of linux.

I haven't tried it with linux, but the windows driver will not work, you have to find one for linux

Yup. Used it with Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Linux has low-latency drivers built-in, so you're good to go.

IF Linux will recognize the port used, and IF Linux will recognize USB 3.0 then yes.Your distro of Linux holds the key. Best guess is most likely yes.

It doesn't matter. It will work fine on any USB port (regardless if it is 2.0 or 3.0).

Yes, if there is an an empty PCI slot in the computer, it will work with a Linux build.

Thanks, I went ahead and bought it... it works just fine with my Red Hat Linux box, but it does require reformatting... I'm sure it would work just fine with most other Linux distros too.

I've had it working on Windows xp/Vista/7/8/8.1 so far. Unsure about Linux at this point.

Hello realmrealm,We do not recommend to use it with Linux. As the listing description shows, it supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 / 8 and only for stable performance.Anker Team1-800-988-7973 support@ianker.com Mon-Fri 9am to 5pm(pst)

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 am not certain it will work with Linux, however I actually had some problems with this unit, and sent it back...I opted for the Sewell Hammerhead vga to HDMI converter..it automatically sets your pc resolution,( or laptop)...and instantly, you have your image on the big screen. The Hammerhead functions by way of the vga port, and should not be affected by your o.s. Just an idea!
