Customer Reviews:

vettekid95.......2007-01-27

Product arrived quickly and in perfect condition. Installed very easily and was recognized immediately by Windows XP. No trouble configuring... all pretty much automatic. I highly recommend this product and seller to anyone looking for a wireless PCI desktop card.

Drops out occassionally & mysteriously starts functioning.......2006-12-02

For the most part, this works for me. In my current apartment, the antennae has a direct line of sight to the wireless router about 20 feet away and I find that occassionally my wireless connection stops functioning. No amount of rebooting my computer, router or modem worked, so I suspect it's the card or the driver. I also encountered similar problems as one of the other reviewers, where I tried downloading a supposedly more up-to-date driver from their website and ended up not getting any functionality at all.

WinXP and Linux.......2006-09-26

With the default antenna this card sucks but you can pick up one of hawking's Hi-Grin antennas for cheep and this card is great.

I have it up and running in WinXP SP2 and in Linux. I'm shooting though two houses and the access point is about 80 ft away. I have about a 75% to 95% connection quality with little to no drops.

Worst piece of junk.......2006-05-18

Generally I don't write reviews. But this is so bad that I am compelled to write my first review. Just bad product. Just 10 feet away from the wireless router - no obstructions and still has dropped connections every 5 min. Tried everything under the sun. Driving me nuts. Need to buy another card now. Stay away.

Don't buy.......2006-04-24

This wireless adapter is a piece of junk. Hawking Technologies shipped it with the wrong driver, as stated on their website:

"HWP54G OR HWC54G IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY - WRONG DRIVER"

Who does it affect?

"Customers who have purchased a HWC54G Wireless-G CardBus Card or a HWP54G Wireless-G PCI card from 4/1/2005 to the present."

And when you go to download an "updated" driver, lo and behold it's the same driver that they're claiming doesn't work.

Purchase this product to your supreme frustration and disappointment.
