It can get power from USB or its wall wart.
Easy to setup and does not care what OS the host uses.

That's the non-refurb one.

Did you see the setup screen? Pull up a web browser and if it wasn't setup you should see that screen.

It works fine on Windows 7

It works fine on any Linux that supports ethernet. I currently have mine on our Logitech ReVue which is definitely not Windows.
The setup sticks around and I only need to wait for the 3 green lights.
Are you sure your Linux is good on ethernet? Maybe you are looking for a WiFi connection on Linux? That does not show up since this is a WiFi to Ethernet bridge so look at the Ethernet settings (ipconfig -all)

yes it's fine on ethernet

and when I have the ethernet wire connected to the adapter it's ok but it's not wireless. What i'm trying to do is get Linux to work with my wireless printer
So it gets on the Internet?

If so, the Linux box is now on your LAN and WLAN. Printing to a WiFi printer would need printer drivers but that's not in your top post so an entirely different discussion is needed.

yes it does get on the internet

The OS and general details. In short, your printer is on your WLAN. So for wireless printers we would need a printer drivers and maybe the IP address of the printer.
This discussion is about how to get linux on wifi which we've succeeded.
