HOT to the Touch - 3COM Wireless 11g USB Adapter-3CRWE254G72

3COM OfficeConnect Wireless 11g USB Adapter-3CRWE254G72
Plugged it in and MAN does it get hot, not warm, but HOT; not quite
untouchable, but damn near close. It seems to operate fine at this
temperature, but does anybody have longevity with this product?

Thanks, Vernon Davis

unplug and quickly drop a laptop wifi pc-card in your shirt pocket some
day,, you'll instantly say a nono.

I have the very same adapter and it certainly does get very warm.

Originally I had it lying flat on my desk, but occasionally I lost
connectivity. Now I always have it sitting upright and its been
perfect with any issues.
