Thanks I found the link but am guessing that my alfa radio is single chip b/g. I don't think there's anything in the manual that gives the exact number of the chipset; don't recognize anything in the download link, except that my radio I think is b/g not not b/g/n. Other ones look like they are for Mac computers?

They are b/g . I have one. From my link: (enable javascript at realtek)

RTL8187L UI and Driver auto installation package(support XP/Vista/Win7)(Beta)

RTL8187B UI and Driver auto install package(Support XP/Vista/Win7) 1181

You have to decide what your chipset is. RTL8187L or 8187B. Both drivers are dated 8th Feb 2011 Sure it's not an old RTL8185L ? Dated 25th Jan 2010.

Windows XP(32bit/64bit)/2K Driver Only 1114 2010/1/25 []'s

Check out the hardware info in hardware manager and google it.

I also have an old RTL8180, also b/g, but an almighty PITA to configure under linux. This one was last updated in 2005.

If it's an Alfa B/G then the chipset will be 8187L

I've used these adpters for years with XP Pro and Home and had no problems - provided you use the Realtek application to manage the adapter.

If you try using Windoze to manage the chipset then you are asking for trouble.

OK THANKS ALOT SHADOW AND DRWHO! (NOTHING FOLLOWS)

I had an Alfa awus036H for a couple of years and then it died. I got a cheaper clone,
