Summary: Great Little Card for a Great Price
Review: Don't pay big bucks for a 3Com or any other big name.... I got this card and I'm thrilled. You can't beat the price and it does exactly what it says. Best deal I ever got on Amazon.

Summary: Didn't work for me
Review: I bought this card to go in a gateway 2000 running windows 98 1st edtion.My main use was to use it to connect my puter to a cable modem.Seems simple enough right?..Well plug and play didn't work out so well in my case.In fact it took me forever to get windows to reconize the drivers off the cd it came with,and even when everything seem to be operating as planed it let me down once again.When i plug in my cable modem and setup the network settings i got nothing but a good old fashion question mark in my device manager.I ended up haveing to hook up my modem via usb after all that.NOw it may have been windows 98 more than the card to blame but i'll never know now..In any case that's my reveiw take is as you will :)

Summary: Works in 98, not in 2000 or ME
Review: I have 98, and the card works just fine..but when I installed 2000 pro, server, and ME, the card wouldn't be automatically detected in any of those. I tried manually installing the card, but no drivers are on the CD for ME, 2000, or server. There was only a read me that says the card will be automatically detected..which it wasn't. Plus, no phone support? I cannot find any phone number on this cd..and no book or documentation whatsoever came with this card. Unsatisfied.....very bad.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very dependable
Review: I have all SMC products on my network, and highly recommend this card.This is my second card added to my network. Easy installation, driver update was a breeze, and had worked flawlessly since I got it six months ago.If you havent gotten the rest of your home network yet. I would also recommend purchasing all SMC products. They work seamlessy together, no calling several helpdesks to troubleshoot your system, and very dependable.

Summary: One-Chip Wonder?
Review: I installed two of these cards into one PC. One of them became inoperable after only about 9 months' use. Something curious that accompanied its demise was that its MAC address, as reported by ipconfig, had become (odd).

Summary: One-Chip Wonder?
Review: I purchased three of these NICs and installed them in:

WinME
Win2k Pro/Win2k Server (used it in one and then the other, months apart)
WinXP Pro

There are no drivers to install. I can't remember what they listed as but it wasn't SMC anything. I did have one problem but it wasn't the card. The problem was that the card was detected and I could configure it to work, I could even do a hardware ping (127.0.0.1) but I couldn't touch the network. I forgot that I had put the card into a shared PCI/ISA slot. I moved the card over one slot and it started working beautifully.
