TrendNet makes some of the best wireless cards and routers out there. Easy to install. Good tech support (including Linux support!!!). Have used it with multiple brands of routers (including TrendNet), all with solid success.
No problems under Fedora Core 6
I bought this card to replace a TI ACX-100 chipset 802.11b card that was difficult to keep working under Linux. So far this TrendNet card has worked great under Fedora Core 6 using the madwifi driver.
I was able to easily yum the madwifi rpm for FC6. More importantly, when I do other updates, I don't have to reinstall the driver (problems I saw with using ndiswrapper and the TI card).
I would definitely suggest this card for anyone looking to get their Linux laptop wireless.
EZ to install under XP
Installation was a snap. Instructions were easy to follow.
Configuration software is NICE...
...except that it's in one of those windows that cannot be resized. The list of neighbor nodes has to be scrolled vertically and horizontally as a consequence, but it could easily be displayed in its entirety in a larger window. I'm pointing this out in hopes that someone influential at TRENDnet might happen to read this.
I'm rapidly becoming a fan of TRENDnet.
Plug in and go
Unpacked it, plugged it in and "hey presto"... just followed the instructions and was surfing the web in no time. Really didn't know what I was doing, but I didn't have to.
Good product
I bought the first TrendNet card six months ago, for my son in college. He had no problem installing the card and using it in the campus. So I bought another one for myself two months ago. Again I had no problem with it. I used if in all hotels that provide wireless connection. The installation is simple and straight forward. The download speed is satisfactory. The price is much lower than others. The only reason I give it a 4-star rating is that I havn't tried any others. May be they do have a lightening speed, but I am very happy with mine.
