If you are a mobile person, you need it,
By A Customer
This review is from: NETGEAR WAG511 802.11a/b/g Dual Band Wireless PC Card (Personal Computers)
This card is great if you have a 802.11b router at home and 802.11a or g at work or University.It is true that it is more expensive than the others, but you get access to three standards instead of 1 or 2. If you'll always be working in a 802.11g or 802.11a network, buy another card, buy if you need access wherever you go, this is for you.

Good card. Works well OOB with both Windows XP and linux. Wireless networking works out of the box with Knoppix 3.6 linux distro. May need madwifi drivers for other linux distros.

Atheros Chipset for Geeks means decent operation for everybody,

This review is from: NETGEAR WAG511 802.11a/b/g Dual Band Wireless PC Card (Personal Computers)
High end users and users who consider themselves geeks will find this card useful. The chipset allows for direct and immediate integration into Linux systems with no additional work on most platforms. The chipset is also able to be used in special modes by a number of Windows applications.
For any users at all, the card will do a decent job of operation with a good range and sensitivity. This card does not include an external antenna jack, however. And in certain modes in Windows, it has a bad habit of SSID loopback. This causes occasional issues with the card claiming that it can see its home network even if the network is far out of range. This may cause confusion for some users as they try to connect to the network and are unable to. Investigation revealed this to be an issue specifically caused by Windows' interaction with the card, and not the card itself, as it works fine in other operating systems. Also, in the time that I have used it, I have only experienced this error once. Overall, the card is well worth the cost, especially if you are looking for that chipset. The decent performance in my opinion outweighs the very infrequent trouble with SSID loopback. if you are looking for the chipset for a linux machine, this card is excellent.
