I can only attest that it worked on 22.04 Ubuntu. I'm not even sure where it is right this minute, since my laptops have integrated wifi, so I don't use it very often. > > (2) The power indicator displays on the side (and probably displays nothing > if the wifi ports it plugs into are all unpowered). > > Is the power information also accessible via the computer USB port itself, > and/or the USB devices (or USB hubs) downstream? Not that I'm aware of. I showed it off at the clinic and people wondered which one it was, which is why I posted the link. I heard about it a few weeks ago from a couple friends who had bought it independently. They seemed pleased, so I decided to join the party. -- Russell Senior russ...@personaltelco.net
