Buffalo Technology WLICBG54L 54Mbps Wireless Notebook Adapter With AOSS

Amazon.com Product Description
The AirStation WLI-CB-G54L is a 32-bit cardbus card that enables you to instantly set up a secure wireless connection with an AOSS-enabled router. It's perfectly suited for any notebook PC with a Type II or Type III PC card slot. 54Mbps of wireless data rates ensure maximum performance. Security features include WPA (TKIP), 64/128-bit WEP and 802.1x support.

What Is AOSS? Setting up a secure wireless network can be too complicated, involving many tedious steps and requiring a certain level of expertise to complete. BuffaloÕs AirStation OneTouch Secure System (AOSS) allows you to create a hi-speed secure wireless connection with a push of a button and a click of the mouse. AOSS automatically detects and configures other AOSS enabled wireless devices and clients and seamlessly creates secure connections. As you add additional devices, security is negotiated at the highest level possible for all devices on the network. Say, for example, that you have one AOSS client that supports both WEP and WPA level encryption, while another client that supports only WEP. The AirStation automatically adjusts the security level to one that both clients will support.

What's in the Box
This package contains the AirStation 54Mbps Wireless Notebook Adapter, CD-ROM with drivers, and printed Quick Setup Guide. It's backed by 24/7 toll-free tech support and a 2-year warranty.

Tech Talk

AES: The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is the U.S. government's next-generation cryptography algorithm, phasing out the older DES format.
TKIP: The next generation of WEP, the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP, pronounced tee-kip) provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism to secure 802.11 wireless LANs.
WEP: A data encryption method used to protect transmission between 802.11 clients and access points, the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard is now considered insufficient, with WPA encryption a more secure choice.
WPA: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) improves the security of 802.11 networks, using 802.1x and EAP to restrict network access and its own encryption (TKIP) to secure data during transmission.

Not stable.......2005-02-26

I used this card on a daily basis for a few months to connect to the wireless networks at my office, at home, and on the road.

In all locations, the card routinely dropped me from the network I onnected to. These drops were brief-- often less than a second or up to five seconds-- but they usually disrupted whatever I was doing and caused me to have to reestablish sessions.

I have since switched to a card from a more well-known provider, and have not been dropped once from any network.

I do not recommend this card.
