5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal Wi-Fi solution!
I bought this with its matching access point NetGear WAB102 and could not be happier. Set-up took less than five minutes, although configuring the security and access settings took about an hour. The card and access point also include 3-yr warranties, 24/7 support and all that jazz. Excellent for those who don't wanna spend too much time figuring out how to connect...

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this if you use XP or newer.
I bought this for my IBM ThinkPad T40 with Windows XP, and it barely works. Whenever it detects the hardware it makes my computer get the BSOD and restart, it sometimes doesn't do this, but that almost never happens, the only good things I can say about this is that the Signal strength is good and its pretty fast.

A co-worker of mine has the Microsoft solution that claims total simplicity and zero uptime, but I fought the NetGear solution much easier.
