I've noticed a similar problem with my dLink 660
dongle. When serious browsing is done with this card
and dongle, the dongle gets quite warm. Now that I'm
serving webpages on my backup Newt using this card and
dongle, I usually drape the dongle over the display
and have the cable running to the switch. I have found
that the heat from the dongle causes the area directly
beneath the dongle to be darker. A little scarey when
I first noticed it. But relocating the dongle to the
side remedied the situation.
