Used this in my Dell Notebook, and with my NetGear switch. Runs really fast, installed easy, and I've had no problems with it all

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, August 25, 2000

I needed an NIC for college so I could hook up to my campus network. This one looked like the best value out there, so I sprung for it. Installation was a breeze on my laptop, and I connected to the network at school with no problems at all. So far, internet access has been uninterrupted, and the card itself is pretty sturdy. It's a shade more expensive than you're liable to find elsewhere on Amazon, but I consider it worth the price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Windows NT nightmare, April 17, 2001

This product is not well supported for the Windows NT environment. They blame the configuration problems on the laptop manufacturer who in turn blames Netgear. The real culprit is probably NT, but Netgear they shouldn't advertise it for NT if they can't support it.
