+Under Linux use the rt2570 drivers from http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/, I believe that the rt2x00 unified drivers work - but I can't be sure - YMMV.
+Under FreeBSD (6.0) the Ural driver works out of the box.

+NB: This device *REQUIRES* a USB 2.0 port to work, I have not found a machine (FreeBSD or Linux) that can use the device in USB 1.x mode, it intermittantly associates, but fails to maintain the connection.
