Comment 17 for bug 862684

A further note: I have been testing (in my amateur way!) a USB dongle with this chipset, and see that there are comments on Amazon customer reviews that some people experience slow connection speeds and unstable connections. My experience has included erratic transmission (e.g. intermittent interruptions on the BBC iPlayer stream and network printing). I think Realtek need to pay serious attention to their driver for this chip, as I suspect many of the problem may lie there.

I'd be pleased to hear of any others that would like to rattle Realtek's cage, as I think the product has great potential.
