Summary: Terrific Product
Review: I purchased this PC card to connect an old Vaio laptop running Win98 ver.1 to my new DSL router/switch. All I had to do was unpack the PC card, slide it into the card slot on the laptop, and pop in the diskette so that the Win98 could find and load the card drivers. After one re-boot -- which took longer than the card and driver installation -- the machine started up and immediately recognized the card and online connection. I was not only surprised at the painless installation but pretty pleased at the low cost of the card. Everything worked as advertised. A few things to watch out for which may affect the installation but has nothing to do with the card itself: 1) Remove any old PC card drivers which are no longer in use
2) Reset your browser setting to it's default configuration if you know changes have been made previously
3) Don't forget to reboot your machine after installing the drivers so that your OS can recognize the newly installed driver software This is a simple card that works as promised -- happy surfing!

Summary: Kiss that Dongle Good Bye
Review: I wish I would have gotten this card eons ago. I had a 3 Com card that worked fine but the dongle was always a problem and after replcing it three times for a few bucks eack time I decided enough of that nonsense and not being able to shift in my easy chair for fear of breaking the connection or the dongle I purchased this card. A breeze to set up on WINME and has all the other OS as well on the floppy. It fired up immediately and has never given me a problem since. I especially like the 6 different LED's in place to let me know the status of my network. I think any card that doesn't require a dongle is a good bet...I just got this one because I have had good luck with other hawking products and the price was hard to beat at 20 bucks after the rebate.
