- Great Laptop Wireless Card!
A great 802.11b laptop wireless card that allows for easy connection of an external antenna.

- THE Best, Bar None
By far the best wireless card I've seen in use. I get signals well outside the range of any of my friends and colleagues. Driver support in virtually any OS and its also supported by NetStumbler for wardriving or general network detection. I'd recommend scrapping the software it comes with, and just using the WiFi capabilities of your OS, if they offer them. Also has support for an external antenna, to further extend your effective signal reception. I don't see myself using any WiFi cards aside from the Orinoco series.

- Zero set up time
I bought the card, put it in my XP Professional and it worked, no fuss, no muss. I can even attach an extension antenna to it. I doubt it makes much difference in range, but it looks very geeky and I like that.

- Terrible card
The software for this card is the worst. I noticed in another review someone had good luck running it with a D-Link 614+ router, I could never get it to connect. Maybe it's a Windows 98 issue but there is no conflict with card as far as 98 goes. Even the software that came with the card indicates it is working properly. I've tried everything including changing TCP/IP settings directly and the card will not connect with the 614+. Tech support is about a joke. After fighting with this card for hours I went and got a Microsoft USB and it ran 5 minutes out of the box.
