Customer Rating:
Summary: Works, but drivers cause problems with stand-by
Comment: The card works great and the installation was a snap. I downloaded the latest drivers from their website (Win XP). My laptop now freezes when it goes into standby...but otherwise it works great.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The worst wireless card ever
Comment: I spent 3-4 hours trying to make this card work but it never went beyond 1 Mbps even when I was sitting 1 foot away from the wireless access point. Very disappointing.
I have a Thinkpad that runs Win XP Home. I plugged this card in and installed the driver utility from the CD. Everything looked fine and the card seemed to be connecting to the access point but my speed never went over 1 Mbps. I use WEP security in my home network.
After 3-4 frustrating hours I had to go back to my 5 year old Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card. With the Lucent card I was up and running in 10 seconds.
My advice, spend a few extra dollars and buy Netgear, Linksys or any of the other well-known brands.

Summary: Absolutely Worthless
Comment: Never worked. After many hours, bought a Linksys card, which worked fine the first time not problems.
Customer Rating:
Summary: It works just fine
Comment: I use this pcmcia card on my HP laptop running windows 2000 Professional and so far it had worked perfectly.
It comes with a software that helps you to connect to the wifi network.
At home I have a Linksys router but I had used it in other networks too.

Summary: Worst wireless card
Comment: I installed on my laptop with XP. It does not work. Also during the installation I got some kind of warning message indicating me to not install this software. I called technical service. They are very busy so they took my number and they will call back. Having technical service busy is not a good indication. It should be plug and play. I wish I had spent little more money to get a better card.
