Purchased for an older laptop I have. It was not too expensive and served it's purpose. Worked well and installed easily.
Using adapter with Jornada 720 and compaq drivers without any problems
The chipset in this model changes from revision to revision. When I checked their web I got the impression it had good linux support. Before I purchased I also got the same impression - but that was for some other revision of the card.So - the two stars is for that. I have no reason to believe that the hardware is not just fine - but I feel like D-link misled me into thinking this card had good linux support.
I first tried a Netgear MA521. Works ANYWHERE in the house and never loses the connection. This is worthless, and I NEVER got connected anywhere in the house.
Here at home, it worked fair, but only in a couple of rooms. Then the D-Lind dwl-650. It saved me in France from being completely without internet service, but connections were spotty.
Not once. And then kept looking for network address. Then tried a Linksys WUSB11.
This is great. And I don't even have broadband.
And I've never been apart from this card now that it's pretty much a permanent fixture in my laptop.The range is perfect for me. When I say that this wireless adapter card works perfectly I mean it. I've never had to reboot because of this being in my laptop, or ever had a problem with my wireless connection because of this card, nor was it hard to get working in the first place.I can't say how much I value this card because you only know the value after it's gone. I never feel that I have to get super close, nor do I feel I can walk real far away from the AP I'm connected to. Overall this card works wonders and I recommend it to anyone who needs a wireless adapter PCMCIA slot card in their laptop.
