I had much difficulty installing this card to my Windows XP system. It took a lot of manual driver installing to get it to work. The worst part is that once correctly installed it had resource conflicts with my display adapter and my printer. I was unable to resolve either of these conflicts with this card installed. When I had this card installed my display would only work at its lowest resolution size and on only 4 colors. The printer was also completely non-functional with this card installed. Once I removed this card and its drivers, I was able to restore my PC back to it's previous functionality, but a frustrating experience for sure.

Since I was unable to use this card in my Windows PC, I thought I'd try it in my SUSE Linux machine, but was unable to get it installed and working in that system. So final conclusion is that this card has been totally useless to me.

Figured I'd save a few dollars and get an "off brand" ethernet card. It claimed to be plug-n-play; how hard could it be...?

I spent two days trying to get my computer to recognize the card, to no avail. Ended up returning it, replaced it with a Linksys card. Popped the Linksys card in, and it was working in seconds, no muss, no fuss.

I ordered this when my onboard ethernet died out of nowhere. This costed me around $10 and I have to say it is definetely worth the money.

The install was completely painless. If you have ever installed RAM, than you can install a PCI card. You unscrew the drive plate, push this card into place, and screw it into place. That is that.

I installed this on a Windows XP machine, therefore did not need to find drivers. If you are using an older OS though it does come with the drivers. Once I booted into XP it right away said found new hardware and it was ready for use. I plugged my DSL modem in and instantly it was good to go.

I have been using this since June 30th, 2007 and have not run into 1 single issue. It gets full speed and never once stuttered. It is a very solid card. Great price, great product.
