Good product, AWFUL tech support [Posted on 2006-02-28]
This product works great, provided you are astute enough to get it up and running on your wireless network. I have a Linksys Wireless Router which is essentially why I went with the Linksys Wireless PCI adapter. I figured it would ease integration. Well...I encountered a problem in which I couldn't get the adapter to talk to my router, even though I could see that the adapter was receiving a good signal from the router. So I called Linksys support...BIG mistake. They spend hours of my time walking me through a hundred steps that I knew wouldn't work because I already tried them, just to tell me that there is something wrong with my adapter and I should return it. What a load of crap!!! Eventually, I sat down and just reset all of my router settings and went through the inital setup steps for my router and got it working on my own. And now, it works like a charm. :)
Hard to install [Posted on 2006-05-16]
I found out that the one thing you should not do is install the thing using the linksys setup. Instead (win xp)go to the 'add hardware' section, look for new hardware and install it using that driver in correspondance with the linksys one.
USED to be good [Posted on 2006-06-03]
I have had this product for a little over a year now and it is terrible. I don't know if it's just a defective chip or anything, but it really got me mad. When i first got it the thing worked fine , but in the last couple of weeks it has been horrible. The signal strength has been either low or very low and i am constantly losing internet. I tried to call tech support once and it gave me some Indian guy that I couldn't really understand. Not only that, but all he did was tell me stuff i already knew like click repair on the connection in My Network Places and restart the computer. If they are all like this one that I have then I reccomend not getting this item.

See my review under "Linksys BEFW1154 Wireless-B Cable/DSL Router".
This card works well with this router.
