You had to flash the firmware on it, but once you did, it worked well and it does until now. You might need a Windows machine to do the flashing, but only for the 10-20 minutes it takes to install the drivers. (There was also a linux flashing utility in the works, but it wasn't quite there when I last looked). -- Dan Pelleg
