This was going to be a review for the Sabrent USB-A11N which is a USB Wireless N adapter.<\/p>\n

\"Sabrent<\/a><\/p>\n

I been trying to find a small, Linux compatible USB adapter, and this one certainly fits the billing.<\/p>\n

Here is the back of the packaging<\/p>\n

\"Sabrent<\/a><\/p>\n

And upon closer inspection of the system requirements<\/p>\n

\"Sabrent<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It should be Linux compatible with a kernel 2.4 or later. \u00a0No prob, I run CentOS 5 which is 2.6 and according to the requirements, it should run on older CentOS 4, as of this writing CentOS 6.3 is the latest version.<\/p>\n

So I fire up a Linux C4 box, no go, I do a C5 box no go.<\/p>\n

I look in to it more by running lsusb and noticed it is a Realtek…. ugh, I had this problem before with the Patriot PCUSBW1150.<\/p>\n

I doublecheck and sure enough, the the USB ID is 0bda:8176 which is the Realtek 8192CU chipset.<\/p>\n

And getting it to work is a whole, much longer story.<\/p>\n

I will post a regular article (not a blog post) on compiling this for CentOS 5.<\/p>\n

As for working out today, it was supposed to be a 2 workout day, but my workout with my personal trainer was longer than usual, \u00a045 minutes instead of 30, also it was a high cardio workout. \u00a0So today I will pass on the second treadmill run. \u00a0Today the weather was horrible, tomorrow I hope it clears because I want to do the 7 mile run.<\/p>\n
