3.0 out of 5 stars Flaky, March 16, 2005

I bought this card as it was on sale and I got it for $9.99 I was expecting Windows XP Pro to recognize the card as soon as inserted it but it didn't. I had to use the installation CDROM that came with it. Installation was a breeze.

One of the first things I came to know when using the card was its limited range. I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router and it is placed high enough from the ground with minimal obstruction. Compared to the Cisco AIR-CB21AG-A-K9 (which I already have) the range of this card is very less.

Other issue I had was the software to control the card. If you decide to use the motorola's wireless utility to configure the wireless connection, the connection is flaky and the connection is dropped frequently. However, if you use Windows to confgiure the wireless connection then connection does not drop that frequently.

Overall I give it a 3 stars.

THis particular card will work on any G3 or G4 Apple powerbook with a pcmcia card slot, all the back to the wallstreet maybe even the 1400. Just plug it in and OS X. will recognize it as an airport device. Very easy to configure!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine piece of wireless gadget, November 2, 2004

I got the card last week and tried it out with office network first, it works very fine (IBM ThinkPad and WinXP pro). Configuration is very easy and step by step as the installer CD recommended. No complication at all, though you need a little knowledge on networking since the manual won't provide much detail... But so far, the automatic configuration makes it very easy and you can be up and running in under 10 minutes! It is very reasonable price for the 11g card comparing its performance to other more expensive ones. Connection is very much reliable too.

I'm still very excited for it and couldn't wait to have a wireless router at home. So I just grabbed one last night, Motorola again (WR850G)! It works so great!!!
