Linux (driver included with kernel versions 2.6.38, 3.0.8 and later, compile required for 2.6.18-2.6.37) Raspberry Pi running Raspbian Performance The small size of this adapter makes it extremely portable and keeps it nicely flush with the USB port. However, the small antenna has trade-offs in terms of range and performance. We recommend using with an access point or peer wifi adapter that is in the same room or nearby. The adapter works best with line of sight to the access point. A laptop with built-in Wi-Fi antennas can cause interference and connection problems. We recommend to disable the internal Wi-Fi or to use a powered USB hub or cable to help get the nano adapter out of range of other signals. Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc) connections Because of its small size, the adapter is especially useful for setting up a separate, peer-to-peer (ad hoc) connection between two wifi adapters.
