Plugged in it to set it up and when I tried to unplug it from the USB connection on the Pi it came apart. Easily put back together (just snaps in place) but not what you'd expect.

Very small and neat, worked out of the box as the drivers were already installed on the Pi running Raspbmc. No issue with power which it draws from the Pi alongside wireless USB keyboard dongle without problem. Only negative comment would be that downloads appear slow (i.e. appears slower than XBMC over wifi on an old Toshiba laptop running Ubuntu - but there could be many reasons for this not least being the Pi's own performance limitations). Despite any possible speed issue, the PiWifi can stream HD content or runs happily in the background downloading files.

Works out of the box, but have problems with slow speed and dropping connections, possibly relating to a crappy power supply, have to try with a better one...

Because I am completely new to Raspberry Pi and working from a command line, and I've had some difficulty getting peripherals that work consistently with my Pi, I was a little nervous about changing from my reliable ethernet connection to wifi. Not only does this little dongle do the job, but I was able to easily configure it from the desktop rather than the command line, which was a big relief to me.

Very easy to setup, all drivers included in standart distros. Not done any benchmarking for performances yet, but works like a charm.
