HWU54D -- HAwkings - Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter w/Antenna -- Any Good ?

Seen that re-badged by Edimax in Europe, looks intresting.

Anyone know if the driver will operate in Promiscuous mode ?

Works very well here in Arizona. Excellent range with the antenna.

I have one. It's decent. It does get hot (its base). Its technical support is very weak. I never got any replies via its Web site. I noticed it uses Envara software:

which is now a part of Intel's Broadband Wireless Division. I am not sure if there will be any more updates for it.

No support for Mac OS X and Linux though. :(

I just bought the Hawking HSB1-AP ( HWBA54G) WiFi Signal booster +

access point), hoping that will solve my issues with wireless

connections and bandwidth issues between two buildings. After several

failed attempts to configure the access point through the supplied cd (

Access violation at address 004A100E in module ?GB.exe?, write of

address 00000000.)

I also tried to configure the access point part through going directly

to 192.168.1.240 which is the default IP address of the HSB1-AP, but I

can only get to the point where I need to configure the WEB key. I

upgraded the firmware per Hawking tech support web site to version 2.29

and that did not solve the problem.

I called their tech support and the person who answered was very rude

and unhelpful. Unfortunately he claims to be the supervisor, so that is

another dead end.

That is my experience with Hawking products and very poor tech support

The Hawkins unit looks like the EW-7317UHg from Edimax, maybe the drivers for that will work better ?

Dear Stuart,

Thank you very much for the replay. I will give it a shot,

Take care
