Great little card
(5 out of 5) by A. J. Trickett on Jun 21, 2000 (Hampshire, UK)Used this in my Dell Notebook, and with my NetGear switch. Runs really fast, installed easy, and I've had no problems with it all

Worth the money
(5 out of 5) by Adam Simoneau on Aug 26, 2000 (Syracuse, NY United States)I needed an NIC for college so I could hook up to my campus network. This one looked like the best value out there, so I sprung for it. Installation was a breeze on my laptop, and I connected to the network at school with no problems at all. So far, internet access has been uninterrupted, and the card itself is pretty sturdy. It's a shade more expensive than you're liable to find elsewhere on Amazon, but I consider it worth the price.

Windows NT nightmare
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 17, 2001This product is not well supported for the Windows NT environment. They blame the configuration problems on the laptop manufacturer who in turn blames Netgear. The real culprit is probably NT, but Netgear they shouldn't advertise it for NT if they can't support it.

Great card with a poor plug
(4 out of 5) by James P. Jamieson on Oct 10, 2000 (Rochester, Minnesota USA)The coupler (ACC-017-015 FA410) plug that mates to the card is easily broken. Torque transmitted from the RJ45 end of the coupler eventually breaks the plug.
Otherwise this is a great little card. Just make sure you know where to find a supply of couplers!

Come on folks.. lets get the specs right
(1 out of 5) by Nolan Browne on Oct 24, 2001 (San Anselmo, CA United States)OK, fine. I'm the first to admit that I'm not a tech head. That's why I always do my best to match product specs with the system I am buying for. After doing this to the best of my ability it was annoying to realize that this card did not fit into the PCMCIA slots on either of my 4 year old laptops. The company provided specs need to be more straight forward.
