Customer Reviews:

Non-existant support and no linux drivers.......2004-03-15

Twice I've requested support via their web page and twice they've ignored it. No linux drivers (get an Intel - they are working on drivers for their cards). Uses secretive and, in my opinion, obsolete TI chip. Don't go anywhere near this turkey or anything else from USR (or TI).

Trash.......2003-07-09

This card is complete trash with design flaws, buggy software, and lack of support. Doesn't want to talk to my other wireless devices using 64biut encryption, only 128bit works. The windows driver won't work unless you're an administrator, and there are no Linux drivers in sight. Mine is going back ... today, and I strongly recommend anyone not to buy this junk.

Works great with Netgear router better with SMC 2404 router.......2003-07-08

This card works great with SMC router 2404 has distance and good connection 22+ speed web update to work with the 4x on the SMC router. Changed my rating due to new speed.

Not as good as I thought.......2003-04-06

Worked great for the first day or so. After that it will loose connection every minute, gets very irritating..... Wish there was a frank review I could refer to before making my purchase.

Good Range - Product Quality Poor.......2003-03-21

The range on this item is great. It pulls decent speeds (better during evening and latenight hours) from a wireless access point across the street.

That said.. the assembly is poor. My US Robotics card, while it still works, now opens like a book. Product still works, but I've heard of others having their US Robotics cards fall apart as well...
