Summary: A Good Card For The Price
Review: First, I don't know what everyone is talking about Linksys's service and support, I have called twice in the past 3 days and got someone on the phone in less than 15 min. This is by far the least amount of time I have ever been on hold with a company about a problem with one of their product.Second, I agree with some that have said the card doesn't always work. My card stopped responding. I haven't a clue why but with the 2nd call I have a replacement coming. I am very satisfied with the performance of the card. I have no problem highly recommending this card to anyone. Easy to install and setup.

Summary: A really Bad NIC...
Review: Inconsistent quality, iffy installation in Windows, and diagnostics only in DOS. This is the Linksys LNE100TX. We have plenty of our customer who opt for this card and have ended=up regretting doing so. The price is what initially attracts, but the shabby construction, questionable installation, and high failure rate - not to mention Linksys' horrible customer support. Avoid this one. You're not saving any money buying this card. You're only gaining headaches and dissappointment with the Linksys card.

Summary: same happend to me - wish I had read this
Review: I bought 2 of these cards and the router/hub. Router/hub worked fine, both cards had problems with my pc's. I went to the store and bought $5 cheapies and they worked fine. So much for buying everyhting from the same manufacturer. The best was when support finally called they would't help because I did not have their nic cards INSTALLED, even though I had them in the corner collecting dust. nasty supprt. Ouch.

Summary: Quirky Drivers, poor Linux support
Review: I bought this card with the idea of using it with Linux (Mandrake 7.x) because Linksys had drivers and support page for Linux installation. I finally gave up just short of re-compiling the kernal (network card should not be *that* difficult to support). After spending serveral days search the net for updated drivers and newgroup info on the card, I decided it wasn't worth the effort and I put my Intel 21040 chipset card back in (which now works with the latest dist of Mandrake). Windows install was odd, but finally worked after tweeking the BIOS settings.

Summary: No Drivers on Diskette-Nasty Support People-
Review: What a nightmare! The first Linksys LNE100 TX EtherFast 10/100 Lan CARD with WOL I got was "bad" and was not acknowledged by my system. When I called the customer support line, I was told this is very common. I got another card and when the 'add hardware' wizard came up, it could not find the driver. I did everything to get the driver installed.... followed the instructions, browsed for the driver, tried to manually install it...everything...When I called the alleged 365 24/7 support line this afternoon, I was put on hold for 15-20 mins each time to then get connected to an answering machine! Tonite, I finally reached someone who was like the rude obnoxsious tech guy from Saturday Night Live. He gave me the same instructions that I had already tried but I tried again after I hung up with him and still no luck. He was a horrible guy..."Well Sue,it's been fun but I gotta go now!" I called back to speak to someone else and this next guy stated that I was missing my driver file after I told him everything that was in my a:\win95 folder. He made an attempt to be polite with me but nevertheless kept telling me to just return the product for a refund if it was not working with my computer. He told me that they do not guarantee their products on all systems. I had to remind him that I was missing the driver. I downloaded the driver from the net but that file did not work either. I will return the card and the router and NEVER do business with Linksys again. Nobody ever called me back when I left my message in the afternoon and their machine. They are laughing all the way to the bank at people buying their products as far as I'm concerned.

Summary: High defective rate and poor customer support
Review: 1 out of 5 defective unit. I also purchased 24-port hub with 2 bad ports and emailed or called Linksys customer support. They never respond. You can only wish that nothing goes wrong with your purchase!! How about thumb down rating with Linksys!

Summary: Doesn't work for Win2K
Review: I bought 2 Linksys LNE100TX cards and one 5 port HUB. The connection is very simple and it works in the first 5 minutes on my Windows 2000 PC. My Windows NT 4.0 PC still can connect to other Win NT PC, but the Win2K PC lost the connection. I can get another 4-5 minutes connection back if I reboot the Win2K PC, but this is not it suppose to work. I download the latest driver from the Web, but still couldn't fix this problem.

Summary: Great price, rugged and reliable!
Review: A good quality network card for setting up a home network. I have 3 of these cards and have never had a problem with any of them. I also use the LinkSys 5-port switch to connect them all and share the Internet with my DSL modem. These network cards are rugged and reliable, and an exceptional value for the price!

Summary: Box should say "Tested with Linux--but not Red Hat!"
Review: Just a warning that this card is incompatible with Red Hat 6.2. Of course it is my fault for not checking compatibility before I bought, however, the sticker on the box has a nice picture of a penguin, and says "Tested with Linux!" so Linksys looks good to people jumping on the Linux bandwagon, like me. But isn't it rather lame that this "generic" card isn't compatible with the most popular Linux distribution in N. America? If I had found Red Hat's 6.2 hardware compatibility page, I wouldn't have bought this card: http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/intel/62/rh6.2-hcl-i.ld-11.html Win Me recognized it with no problems, big whup.

Summary: Excellent for home networks
Review: I have 3 LinkSys cards in my home network. The price was right and they have worked without a hitch. Installation was as easy as any network card under Windows 98 SE. Compatible with my VIA and Ali chipset motherboards. Use with their 5 port hub or switch (hub with uplink port).
