work great in linux [Posted on 2004-09-29]
ingles:
It works great on linux, the wireless I bought was gray on the bottom and its chipset was not amdTek's that's found on most of the forums. I downloaded the driver from http://rt2400.sourceforge.net/ compiled and it was ready to rumble.... I luv Linux!!
espanol:
funciona bien en linux, la que me mandaron tenia gris la parte de abajo y no es el chipset amdTek que se encuentra en la mayoria de foros, solo es de descargar el driver de http://rt2400.sourceforge.net/ se compila y listo
Short Range and Untable [Posted on 2004-10-07]
This card is easy to install. Works fine with WinXP on my Dell Inspiron 2560. However it has weaker range/reception comparing to the Belkin card I had before. It drops the connection pretty often at 50ft with one wall in between. The included software utility shown 95%~100% signal level and link quality at the time. The reading drops to 0% straight, I have hardly seen any other %number between 0% and 95%. Once in a while I lose connection in very close range of less than 10 feet! I do not think it is very reliable product.
Not worth the money [Posted on 2004-12-16]
This card is not very good. It has probelms picking up some wirless networks and DOES NOT HAVE WPA capabilities - the description given is not true! The software supplied in near to worthless. You may think that maybe I have a bad card but that is not the case - I bought 2 of these and they are both 'low rent' - maybe it is my computer - no again tried another card (belkin) and a centrino and a laptop with wireless included and they all worked without problems.
This is a lemon - walk on by!
Good... [Posted on 2005-09-11]
It serves its purpose and haven't encountered any problems yet. A great fit for my Dell laptop.
No Good [Posted on 2007-01-09]
I loaded the software, nothing worked. I called SMC for tech support. The person asked when I bought the product. I said I just got it. He said they didn't offer tech support any more, it was an old product. He said I could pay ten dollars and have some other company help me. I sent it back and bought a different kind.
