Linksys WPC54G PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter Five times faster than the widely deployed Wireless-B (802.11b) products found in homes, businesses, and public wireless hotspots around the country! Yet, this phenomenally fast Wireless G network adapter shares the same 2.4GHz radio band as slower devices, it can also work with existing 11Mbps Wireless-B equipment.
The new Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys has both standards built in, so you can connect your notebook to existing 802.11b infrastructure, and also the new screaming fast Wireless-G networks. The included Setup Wizard will walk you through configuring the adapter to your network's settings, step by step. Then just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy network access with your notebook computer, while retaining true mobility.
Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out on the patio. Your wireless connection is protected by the new, industrial-strength security of Wireless Protected Access (WPA).
You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of public wireless hotspots springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels and convention centers. And as those hotspots upgrade to the new high-speed Wireless-G standard, you'll be ready to take advantage of the increased speeds.
Get connected to current-standard 802.11b networks today, and be prepared for the future with the Wireless-G Notebook Adapter from Linksys. Compatible with Windows XP, 2000, Milennium and 98SE.

I have had this card two years. Each time I have tried to install this card after reloading Windows, I get error messages that require me to enter a %d-long WEP code. How long is %d? My WEP key is Valid on all other machines on the network.
I was advised that Linksys has identified a glitch in their application, but even after all this time, a fix is not available.
All other options are grayed out. Linksys reps are unable to help. Not one of them has any technical savvy whatsoever. Worse, the phone connection to whatever country they are located in is very fuzzy. Add the accent, and good luck! I have lost several hours in total trying to get this card to work, but it's no use.
I'm trashing this and buying another card. Never again, Linksys!

Works as advertised, especially so with a WRT54G Linksys Router.
I am very happy I made this purchase.

Works great! Didn't need the software either ... just Plug-n-Play with XP.
