You are far off the ground. So if I get a pirate driver, it's ok,
and when I buy legal products, I should feel conned. Be serious.

Better for whom? Where should you then find help if a random USB
card does not work with such a generic driver?
From Elbox or from the card's producer?
Maybe Elbox do not want to have problems with bad-working or old USB1.1
cards, which would happen if anybody wants to get just any USB card.
Now you get a USB2.0 card which will sure work with its USB drivers.
I am all for buying a fully-supported Spider from Elbox. |
