2.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Out-dated, May 7, 2005

This review is from: 3Com 3CRWB6096B Wireless Bluetooth PC Card (Personal Computers)

Pros:
- Don't need to open the antenna to get reception...so it stays streamlined to the edge of your PC Card slot. That is the only positive of this card.

Cons:
- the driver software is WAY outdated. Even the software on 3com's site doesn't help.
- Doesn't pair well.
- Class II card...bad range.

Go with a CLASS I type card. I purchased a Hawkings Tech Class 1 USB dongle. It is awesome. However I am now purchasing a Zoom Class I card which looks great and from what I heard might be the best.
