Raspberry Pi and EDUP EP-MS150NW 11N 150M WiFi Wireless Adapter

This afternoon I went to Shamshuipo Golden Computer Centre to get some cheap accessories for my Raspberry Pi Model A project.

The first thing I need to buy is a WiFi adapter.  The Linksys WUSB54GC is IEEE 802.11g with a transfer rate of 54 Mbps.  When I bought this adapter some 5 years ago, 54Mbps was the highest speed.  But now it is 300Mbps.  I saw one shop selling the EDUP's 105M adapter at a price of HKD90 only.  The adapter has an impressive antenna.  I thought it was a good buy.
