5 out of 5 stars Problems with loading the drivers   September 4, 2008
On one of my computers installing this, I ran into trouble loading the program. It kept giving me the microsoft error message of death. I ended up uninstalling the program and just using the plug and play feature, and when windows wants to install drivers just have the CD inserted and let it auto load. Works like a champ now.


5 out of 5 stars cheaper is better   August 26, 2008
I checked all local stores and wallmart was the least expansive at 40 dollars,yours was less than halfthe price.it is simple follow instructions installation that worked flawlessly from day one,if you need an ethernet card that is the way to go.


1 out of 5 stars Poor card, poor tech support   August 25, 2008
I can't seem to get this thing to work well over 30 feet (to a WRT54Gv3 or WRT54GSv5). I asked for new drivers and they sent me drivers for a "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 Libertas 802.11b/g Wireless" chip, when the board has (and the original drivers were for) a Realtek 8185L.

I've finally gotten it connected and the performance is poor.

But it was cheap. Penny wise, pound foolish.



4 out of 5 stars Easy to install. No problems...yet...   August 13, 2008
I was suspect about going with such a cheap product, but did so after reading the reviews. I found the product very easy to install and working just fine. I did have some problem between the driver with Microsoft XP. The driver is not "approved" by Microsoft and introduces a minor problem. It seems that I cannot use XP's personal profiles because of this. A bit of an irritant, but not a show stopper.


1 out of 5 stars Locked up my Windows XP mouse, disabled fast user switching   August 12, 2008
Do not buy this if you have Windows XP home. I don't know what OS other people were using. When I installed the drivers, it disabled fast user switching (and took away the icon screen that people use to log in). After logging in with a dialog, there were two messages about programs crashing and wanting to send info to microsoft. Then, the mouse would lock up for 30 seconds every few minutes. All of these problems were new, and they stayed over multiple reboots until I used system restore to uninstall the drivers. Then they went away. Finally, it could not connect to my network even though it showed over 70% strength. I would avoid this product.
