Good for compatibility of older notebooks 
2009-01-06
this is wireless-B - and is good for older notebook compatibility on a mixed wireless system.
Highly reliable, easy to setup.

Title says it all. Linksys/Cisco is also great for providing driver and bios updates for their devices, so I highly recommend Linksys adapters and routers.
Excellent 2008-01-18
I donno if this is the best in the market but go for it if its still cheap. I use it with my 7 yr old 'monster' Dell laptop. Works perfect.

Average capabilities 
2006-12-12
This unit worked as advertised but short on distance. I have 98 SE and this unit was the only one that worked for me. I tried others but 98 would not run them. I'm satisified with the results but wish it had more range.
Works with Linux! 2006-08-29

Don't expect any support when it stops working 
2006-07-14
I bought version 2.5 of this card to run on XP. Linksys claimed that they really support XP, although the install told me to ignore the warning that XP was not supported. After a few months, the card suddenly stopped working, I tried downloading the drivers, uninstalling and then reinstalling. (The only download available was the 3.0 version, which I think may be a prolem.) The setup program would not even run! I then spent an hour and a half doing on-line chat with a support rep. His advice had the same results -- the set up would not run. He had me try the card in another laptop with the same downloaded drivers. Same result. After all that time, he just told me that something must be wrong with the card and to buy another one. There was no diagnostic that I could run to determine if the card was indeed defective. I would not advise anyone to buy this card. Linksys clearly does not care whether the cards work or not, as long as they can continue to sell them to unsuspecting buyers.
Linksys can['t make it work 2006-06-12
I would strongly advise against purchasing this item. I just bought one and spent nearly five hours trying to get it working. That includes 1.5 hours on the phone with a Linksys representative. When he said I had to reformat my hard drive, I terminated that conversation.
Then I tried email support. After following two or three links they sent me, which essentially had me repeat what I had done over the phone, I gave up.
Then I got a call from Linksys and spent another 45 minutes with a representative. In the end he said he couldn't make it work on my computer and I should return the item.
I have used this same computer with a "generic" USB wifi stick for over a year. After the representative gave up, I borrowed a D-Link wifi and installed it without any problem.
Good cheap wireless card 2006-02-28
Although it is based on the old 802.11b standard, it works well when web surfing. It it a little slow when transfering large files or printing, but makes up for this with excellent range.
Doesn't work well with XP 2005-12-09
If you thought the Windows 2000 install and performance were bad wait until you try it under XP!
I should have spent the extra dollars and gotten a decent card.
:(
