Skip this one Don't bother buying this until late December '00 or until you check with the support folks. They admitted a bad crystal was "discovered" after the product shipped and they will not have replacements for weeks (as of 11/10/00)

It came preinstalled in my Dell E1505. It works virtually in every Wi-Fi you might find. I tested it in 802.11n 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies and works great.
Important: Make sure you get the latest drivers. When I purchased the computer back on February 2007, I had to disable the 802.11n and use 802.11g because the technology was new and the compatibility with my Airport Extreme was bad. Eventually, both the router and the Intel card got firmware updates and worked just fine.

Belkin Gigabit Ethernet ExpressCard with 1 External Port ( F5U250 ) Review

Belkin Gigabit Ethernet ExpressCard with 1 External Port ( F5U250 )
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the second gigabit expresscard I've tried on my laptop. The first, a Linksys Expresscard Gigabit Eth Adapter Pci Express, has a spring-loaded RJ-45 jack that folds down to allow for easier storage, but doesn't protect the pins well and they eventually broke. That Linksys card was not very fast; I never really got gigabit speeds with it. This Belkin card is significantly faster, and was detected by Ubuntu Linux (7.04, Feisty Fawn) right away, nothing to load or configure. I would buy one of these again in a heartbeat. This Belkin card is not as cool-looking as the Linksys, but it has it where it counts, and that's speed.

Encore Wireless Enlwi-N 802.11N Wireless Pci Adapter Review

Encore Wireless Enlwi-N 802.11N Wireless Pci Adapter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I installed this in an XP PC. It connects OK w/ a Netgear wireless router, but the connection is very unstable; usually dropping within five minutes. Signal strength is over 90 percent. SW is current, and no amount of tweaking seems to help.
The router has another PC cabled to it, and a laptop connected via wireless-G. Both connections are very stable. Only the Encore seems to have problems.
The Encore website doesn't have much useful info, and the doc. is pretty minimal. I've emailed Encore Support; hopefully they'll have some answers and I can make this review more favorable.
UPDATE: No response to my email for two days, so I called their T.S. number. They had me change router encryption from WP2-PSK to WPA-PSK. The good news is that the connection is much more stable; the bad news is it's only seeing 24-48 Mpbs. Still, a major improvement.

D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless 22 Mbps PC Card Review

D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ Wireless 22 Mbps PC Card
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been running the D-Link AirPlus DI-614+ with a D-Link DWL-650+ wirless card for about 6 months.
The good:
Easy install (READ the instructions FIRST!)
Good connection quality and decent speed.
Worked great for sharing my cable modem for Internet access, file sharing across computers, printer sharing.
The utility that comes with the DWL-650+ card allows you to setup separate profiles for different wireless networks, a great convenience if you want to switch easily between home, work and Starbucks!
The bad:
The DWL 650+ PCMCIA failed after a few weeks.
Tech support was really bad, blamed everything but the card. After about a dozen e-mails & phone calls I finally got a tech to admit the card wasn't working since the indicator wouldn't even light up.
Replacement card required securing with my credit card and signing / faxing a 'cross shipment agreement' so they could ship immediately while my old card was being returned. Well they got my old card in a couple days but didn't ship the replacement for several weeks!
After finally getting the defective card resolved (2 months!!) everything worked again fun until ..
It wouldn't support my company's VPN connection through the wireless. (Wired connection does work though!) They're documentation says it supports PPTP VPN Pass through but after several more calls to their tech support, a bunch of configuration changes, the last tech finally said I 'had to understand that VPN requires too many packets for a wireless connection'. So why do my coworker's Linksys systems work fine then?!
Bottom Line:
It's fine for setting up a home network and sharing a broadband internet connection. But be wary if you need to do anything more sophisticated, especially if you ususally need support. Me? I'm buying a Linksys and selling the DLink stuff!

The DWL-650+ is an enhanced 802.11b CardBus that is fully compatible with the IEEE 802.11b standard, making it interoperable with all existing 802.11b-compliant devices. Now you can transfer files or communicate up to 20 percent faster than with earlier 802.11b solutions, even when connected to a standard 802.11b network. When you're connected to other D-Link AirPlus products, the performance is even greater--up to 22 Mbps. The DWL-650+ also features 256-bit WEP encryption, giving you a higher level of security for your data and communications.
The D-Link AirPlus DWL-650+ also includes a configuration utility to discover available wireless networks and create and save detailed connectivity profiles for those networks accessed most often. The DWL-650+ is a powerful 32-bit CardBus adapter that installs quickly and easily on laptop PCs, and, when used with other D-Link AirPlus products, automatically connects to the network. And all D-Link wireless adapters can be used in ad hoc mode to connect directly with other cards, or in infrastructure mode to connect with a wireless access point for access to the Internet in an office or home network.

just got a cisco aironet 350 PCI card for my server which runs linux. i didnt need to install drivers because since kernel 2.6 the drivers have been included and the neat thing is this card pruportedly from the Cisco page on it works with even kernel 2.2.

D-Link DWL-G630 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11g, 54Mbps Review

D-Link DWL-G630 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11g, 54Mbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I agree with several other reviews here that the card is bad. But, if you had bought it and don't want to spend money returnig it, some tweaking would make it work good! A good product should be real plug and play but this is not!!
I bought it as a router and pc card (both D-link 802.11g) set to use at home. I have my desktop connected by cable to the router and my laptop connecting wirelessly. Installation was a snap for both the router and the card and they worked fine and I was able to browse and share files between both the computers - all at good speed.
Trouble started when I went to work with my laptop or when I used laptop on its battery. The card took a long time to recognize the network and the computer kept saying 'cound not connect to network drives'.
The other problem was that my battery drained very fast. So fast to the extent that some times just booting up and reading my emails will already have used up 75% battery!!
Minor trouble; the D-link utility does the exact samething that Windows XP wireless connection manager does. However, there is no (easy) way to disable the utility from loading. Even if you use windows XP to configure wireless connections, the D-link utility sits there and does nothing.
Solutions:
1. You can prevent the D-link utility from loading and this improves performance - makes connections quicker actually. Click Start..Run.. ; Type 'msconfig' and click OK. In the window that appears click the 'Startup' tab; You will see a long list of programs that are enabled at start up. Uncheck 'airplus.exe' and 'reg.exe' both of which run from the D-link installation directory.
2. To conserve battery, Right click the wireless connection icon on the tray; click status... click Properties... Click 'configure' right next to the D-link airplus g card's name. Go to the advanced tab and choose 'powersavemode' from the list..choose property 'normal' or 'maximum' to save your battery.
These two actions make a card actually work better than using D-link's utility (Do all tweaking at your own risk! It worked for me, but, cannot guarantee it'll work for you w/o causing any trouble). Good luck!!

D-Link DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11g, 108Mbps Review

D-Link DWL-G650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter, 802.11g, 108Mbps
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this card with a D-Link DI-624 router/WAP; as a pair, they perform flawlessly, and offer the advertised performance, which is on-par with wired Ethernet.
Compatibility of this card with other access points was good in my testing. It connected just fine to all the WAPs I normally use (all of which are B protocol), and offered the expected performance.
The only complaint I have is that I attempted to install the card using the latest drivers from D-Link, downloaded from their web site. Despite carefully matching the hardware revision of my card with the offered download, my attempts to use the card failed. The drivers installed fine, but it would not "sniff" any wireless networks (there were two within range), including one a few feet away.
After uninstalling the downloaded drivers, and using the earlier version supplied on CD with the card, it fired-up just fine, and operated perfectly.
Unfortunately, this is something I've encountered before with D-Link products, both with device drivers (as for this card) and with firmware updates for various D-Link products I've owned. It's not always the best advice to stay fully current on updates, as they occasionally introduce anomalies. If you're technically inclined, this is a minor annoyance that can be dealt with using a combination of patience and judicious back-ups. Average users may not have as much tolerance for this as I do.
With the installation stabilized, I find myself quite satisfied with the DWL-G650, and definitely recommend it -- though less technical users should stick to the drivers on the packaged CD.

NETGEAR GS108 ProSafe 8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Desktop Switch Review

This switch is exactly what I expected it to be: solid. Just like the other Netgear equipment I've used, the GS108 is completely hassle-free. My whole house was literally wired for gigabit Ethernet in no more time than it took to plug in the cables. I took it out of the box, plugged in the power cord, and plugged in connections (including a router and the patch cables to the rooms in my home), and went about my networking. It's completely idiot-proof, since all 8 ports automatically detect connection speed and uplink/downlink (meaning that no special cables are needed to hook up additional switches or routers). Plus, the indicator lights show which ports are in use, and at what speeds (10Mb, 100Mb, or 1Gb).
The form factor is great, too: At about 9 inches wide by 4 inches deep by 1 inch thick, it's small enough that I was easily able to place it inside the structured wiring panel, and so light that a little heavy velcro holds it fast. Plus, it doesn't put out a lot of heat; even with the door to the panel closed, it feels warm but never hot to the touch.

Belkin F5D7010 Wireless 54 Mbps Notebook Card Review

Belkin F5D7010  Wireless 54 Mbps Notebook Card
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this card after borrowing a card with an identical product number from a friend. My friend's card worked out of the box with my version of Ubuntu Linux.
When I received my card, it simply did not work. After doing some research, I found that I had a card with a different version number, and a different chipset. My friend's card had a chipset made by Atheros, which worked out of the box. The card that I purchased had a Broadcom chipset, which is notorious for being incompatible with Linux. Even after going to the forums, I was unable to make the card work.
Belkin is dishonest, in that it makes changes to the chipset without changing the product number, only the version number, which the consumer is not made aware of. Had I been aware that the card had a different chipset, I would not have ordered it.

This 1/2-height Mini PCI-Express card was a direct, drop-in replacement for a crappy, run of the mill Atheros (AzureWave) 5895 WiFi card that came OEM in my new Asus G51JX-A1 Republic of Gamers laptop, easy to install, just two small mini-screws, pop the antennas off the old adapter, snug the new N-6300 Ultimate WiFi card in the PCI-Express Mini-slot, and BAM, WHAM, THANK YOU 'MAM! You're styling to go with the finest, best connected setup in WiFi Land these days, there is nothing to top this WiFi setup presently, it's the creme of the crop, the best of the best, and if you don't have it in your laptop you're sort of being well, dumb about it!
My G51JX-A1 just happened to come wired up with the 3rd antenna for the Wifi card, simply tucked up onto the OEM WiFi card with a plastic shield for the cap, and a piece of electrical tape, so installing the N-6300 WiFi card with 3 antennas was no problem with my setup. YMMV if you don't have 3 antennas and it would behoove you, if you just have two, to purchase one here on Amazon.com for a couple bucks, or on eBay for that matter, and install it yourself because the range and the quality of the signal with 3 antennas is just unbelievable!
At idle my network WiFi readout is 180 to 280Mb/sec for this card, which is off-scale, while in full bore 5.8Ghz mode with my Linksys L3000 Router in charge, I have seen the fabled 450Mb/sec speed that everybody raves is possible with this adapter, and ONLY with this adapter. In addition, I have been able to download multiple files at the same time, with no degradation of service, getting all the files intact more of less simultaneously, and instantly to boot, so Kudos to Intel for designing in such a fantastic switching mechanism into this WiFi adapter that does both 2.4 and 5.8Ghz signals simultaneously, inbound and outbound both, which is the 1st card to do such a thing! You can stream to your heart's delight with this device in your laptop, because it's gonna work, yessir it most likely will, especially if you have the 3 antennas in the house!
For a paltry sum you too can have/use this great WiFi adapter, so get one if your notebook is upgradeable in the WiFi adapter dept, like mine is, and get to enjoy the best, and finest WiFi experience that $$$ can buy, bar none. This one gets Wavey Davey's 5 Gold Stars Award for high quality, unique features, easy installation, and plug and play simplicity with the driver CD ROM in the box, to boot! You will NOT be disappointed if you order this beautiful tech thing and get your laptop into the 21st Century, where it can connect to its little heart's delight, and then some.
