Summary: So-so adapter
Review: This is a decent adapter but could use a little work. Inserting and removing the PC card would be improved if they included some type of guide rails. So take a little care when inserting the card, which you will probably only ever do once.
Also, this card will probably only work with the netgear 802.11b card. Other vendors implemented a more generic PCI-to-PCCard slot for their 802.11b cards, but this one seems geared only towards the matching netgear cards.
A little trouble getting it to work with BSD but a friend patched it and has submitted the patch to the BSD folks.
Worked fine in Win2k.
Netgear offers a decent price/performance value for their wireless stuff.

Summary: Easy to install, works fine.
Review: This product works great. The only complaint I have about it is there is no mention anywhere in the documentation on the correct way to insert the PC Card. The PC Card will go in both ways, and I had to experiment to see which way was the right way. Other than that, the card works great.
