Great product!
This thing is fantastic! I run an Asus Vivobook with Ubuntu installed and it worked immediately after plugging it in. Much better than using my phone to tether. Highly recommend!

works well on linux
this device was "plug and play" with no driver installation required on a laptop I recently purchased and then put Ubuntu Linux on. I then downloaded over 1 GB of software updates with no problems

Really Helped with Raspberry Pi 4 & Raspberry Pi OS
The on-board wifi adapter with this model of Pi was badly dropping connections in Raspberry Pi OS, requiring a reboot each time. I tried another USB Wifi Dongle with the Pi. The connection was stable but throughput was anemic & very slow. I heard that Panda adapters worked well with Linux distros, so I tried this one. This device has given my Raspberry Pi 4 new life. I can now video stream at 1080p & 720p instead of 360p, and file downloads & transfers are 10 times faster than before, though transfers can be a bit sluggish at times. This Panda model is highly recommended.Let me add that you still have to turn off the drivers for the Pi's onboard wifi card. Of course, backup your system and Google this for more information so that you understand what you're doing before adding this code to your Raspberry Pi OS system. Also note that this code only works for Raspberry Pi OS, as far as I know. To turn off the drivers for the onboard wifi card, create a text file using the following sudo command:sudo mousepad /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.confIn that file, add & save these 2 lines:blacklist brcmfmacblacklist brcmutilShutdown, plug in the Panda wireless adapter, and power on. The new adapter worked for me automatically, on a plug-and-play basis.

Plug and play install on Linux Mint
Upgraded an old laptop to Linux and it originally did not have wifi. Bought the USB dongle and initially could not find the wifi toolbar icon. Called support and before they could help me I found it and logged in. Now I have crisp and snappy web access. Highly recommended. Yay!

Panda Ultra Wifi b/g/n 150Mbps Wireless-N 2.4Ghz USB Adaptor
I give this device 5 out of 5 stars, since it completely and fully works with all three of my OS's. I triple boot OSX 10.7.5, Windows 7 Home Premium and Debian Linux 6.0 (Squeeze).The Linux driver on the install CD, as well as the one on the support website works flawlessly, although I did have to recode the config.mk to build properly. **SEE LINUX README BELOW FOR DETAILS AND HOW-TO*** Basically, add this to the config to allow for proper build on linux kernel. Tested on Crunchbang Linux (Statler, BPO and Testing), and Debian Linux (Squeeze/Wheezy/Sid) :### INSTRUCTIONS TO ALLOW FOR SUCCESSFUL COMPILE ON DEBIAN LINUX (SQUEEZE) OR ANY OTHER LINUX THAT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS DEVICE OUT OF THE BOX. KERNEL 3.0+ HAS NATIVE SUPPORT BTW on ANY LINUX. USEFUL FOR 2.6 AND BELOW KERNEL. #####This device uses the RT5370 kernel module..******** READ ME LINUX COMPILE KERNEL 2.6.34.13 and BELOW ******HOW TO COMPILE AND LOAD ****** Ralink RT5370 ***** usb device support.Code:This is the changes needed in the config.mk located in the WiFi Driver\Linux directory on the install CD. I used the archive utility on Linux to unpack the directory, which is named ( "2011_0719_RT3070_RT3370_RT5370_RT5372_Linux_STA_V2.5.0.3_DPO" )The config.mk file is located in the OS directory.# Support Wpa_SupplicantHAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=nNow change the "n" to a "y" (Without quotes of course!)Now scroll down again until you find(should be right under last one):Code:# Support Native WpaSupplicant for Network MagangerHAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=nLike before, change "n" to a "y".Save.Now, we have to blacklist some other conflicting drivers.Open Terminal again.Type:Code:sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf**You could also use nano just in case you don't have a GUI installed as of yet, or VIM. Any text editor will work for this.NOTE: you can open the blacklist file with you preferred text editor besides gedit if you like.Scroll down to the very bottom of the blacklist file.Type:blacklist rt2800usbblacklist rt2870staI'm not sure if blacklisting rt2870sta does anything, but I do it just in case.Save.Reboot (IMPORTANT TO UNLOAD/LOAD NEW CONFIGS!!)Once back in at the desktop, open Terminal."cd" to your Desktop.Code:cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/DesktopReplace your "YOURUSERNAME" with your Linux username.Once you are "cd" in to your desktop, you need to "cd" again to your ralink folder.Code:cd ralinkYou can change the name "ralink" to whatever you named the folder.*****Code:AS ROOT: apt-get install module-assistant (needed to pull in kernel headers and relevant compile tools for build)AS ROOT: m-a update (this will update module assistantAS ROOT: m-a prepare (this will install gcc compiler 4.3, make, and relevant kernel headers for proper compiler setup)AS ROOT: EXIT module assistant (return to build directory)su (to switch to root user...enter password for root at prompt for password)make cleanmakemake installmodprobe rt5370staexitDuring "make", if you get warnings, don't freak out. It's ok, just basic compiler warnings..no biggie.Now, if it worked correctly, Network Managershould be able to find networks and connect to them. Congrats! You got your net working!You may or may not need to reboot after you do the modprobe of the kernel moduel, as I found a reboot unneccessary for Crunchbang and Debian Squeeze.Happy browsing!
