"First installation procedure locked itself but not the system. Second try after reboot worked flawlessly. The card has continued to pull in excelent singnal from my Sharp Actius MM20 2.0 lb ultralight (in which the OEM 11g card always sporatically spiked up to 2.0Mbps -- LAME!) It detects and connects effortlessly to all my 11a and 11g WLAN SSIDs, but I'm not convinced it'

"Installation and stability were great on my laptop, however couldn't get any signal range. I don't think problem is fault with driver however as I've tried other drivers with this card and same problem, I think it has missing antenna wires to go up to screen area of laptop. :("

"I upgraded from V4.0.0:14001 to this V4.1.2.56 in the hope that it would fix a long-standing problem I've had with setting up WPA2 -PSK on my Acer Aspire. My WPA2 - PSK works OK to other devices, but not to my Acer's built-in wifi. The upgrade didn't fix the problem so I suppose I must have some other problem. I can't really blame the new driver in this case."
