whether generally or only in certain notebooks I can not evaluate. However, in my HP notebook business NX series of slim, elegant adapter has been recognized but refused the service completely. No USB device such as a printer, mouse USB flash drive or scanner was detected. In an adapter VIA USB chip is probably installed. Either it is in my case a defective individual case or the adapter is incompatible with the present in the Notebook USB & Cardbus / PCMCIA chipsets from TI and NEC in certain constellations. The adapter I needed to conclusively back unfortunately.
