Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter (HWU54D) gets hot?

Hello!

I noticed my new Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter
(Model: HWU54D -- http://www.hawkingtech.com/prodSpec.php?ProdID=208 )
gets hot after a long period of usage. I can't touch its base for more
than ten seconds. Is it normal? I think it locked up this morning (only
once so for a week since I bought it and installed it), and I had to
disable it via Device Manager and re-enable. This was in a 75 degrees(F)
room.

Other than that, this wireless USB adapter seems to work decently.

Thank you in advance.

My DLink DWL-122 mini-USB gets a lot warmer than I expected, but it doesn't
seem to suffer from it.
