Great networking alternative, works with XP and 2003
I required a second network card to setup a multihomed server using Windows 2003. Since I was out of PCI slots on my server this adapter was a definitive blessing; it is also an excellent alternative for laptop users and for people who don’t feel comfortable opening their computer cases. The adapter’s cable length is about a foot 1/2 long, which I think is adequate for most people; it also has a power LED which also serves as a network status indicator. I also tested the adapter with Windows XP and did not require the CD to set it up (Windows 2003 did require the CD).Note:If you install this adapter with your system powered on, you will get an error message indicating a problem starting the device, this is normal and will go out after restarting. So far, performance has been consistent and it has been 100% stable.I hope that my review helps in evaluating this device.
Update (5/20/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Tivo Owners - THIS IS THE ONE TO GET.
I previously owned the Linksys 200M and it broke with the touch of a feather because of a little plastic door which holds the ethernet cable. I know plenty of Tivo owners will make the same mistake because it is the only one “certified” on their website. Do not buy the Linksys 200M. This adapter installed so easily and connected to Tivo perfectly. The design is light years away from the Linksys 200M. Tivo owners - buy this one, you won’t be sorry!

I bought this to Network my Tivo
And network my Tivo I did. It worked right out the box without any problems at all - Tivo recognized it immediately.
Would have got 5 stars, but I do feel that the price point for this “brand” device is excessive now that USB is a very mature technology.
Incidentally, I bought a $6 + $2 shipping non-branded device from ebay which works perfectly with a colleague’s Tivo.
