Has anyone purchased element14/newark's "wi-pi" usb dongle? If so, can somebody tell me the chipset used.

I ordered one. I was expecting to use it with Raspbmc, but I couldn't get it to work just being powered by the USB port on a Model B. I ended up purchasing a Belkin F7D2102 N300 Micro Wireless N USB Adapter from Amazon and that just worked great!
