Summary: Good once you get it going.
Comment: I purchased one of these, along with a LINKSYS router.
It was easy to set up in the PC, but a bit of a fiddle to get going.
Reception was all over the place. I had to move the router and PC about in the different rooms to get a decent signal.
But now it is working, it works well.

Summary: Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter USER FRIENDLY
Comment: Absolutely the most seemless installation process(Windows XP 2004). USER FRIENDLY. The WIFI card comes with a large antenna. Its also got seperate Windows Vista process.
Started off with CD driver. Only lasted several minutes and with about 4- mouse clicks. When CD process finished, it stated clearly that the PC will shutdown and continue after you insert the WIFI adaptor into the PCI slot.
Once card got fitted, i switched on the PC. It booted up as normal with no slowdowns. After Windows XP recognised the new hardware, the next step of the installation appeared without long delays. It instantly displayed the wireless networks. Once i chose my network, it requested the WEP keys within my secured wireless network. This was done within 2 clicks.
Before i knew it, i had internet access!
5/5

Summary: 5 Star item.
Comment: I have two of these on my home network. They are easy to install and the software was quite intuitive to use. Nice kit. Does exactly what it says on the box!

Summary: No Drivers Available.
Comment: I have one of these card in a windows XP machine which has never caused me any problems. My entire network is built on Linksys (CISCO) technology, so this was my natural choice when building a 64bit vista ultimate machine. Imagine my surprise that when the box says "upgradeable to vista" it actually means upgradeable to Vista 32 bit O/S's because cisco do not write ANY 64 bit drivers for any of their products.
Put simply by the Linksys support engineer, "That device is not supported on 64 bit Vista".

Summary: USB is cheaper, better, faster
Comment: First I bought a PCI card because I thought it would be really fast - straight onto the PC bus. Nice theory, but the Linksys card only ever reached 18Mbs maximum, usually down around 11Mbs, and lots of dropped connections. So I bought a Sweex USB adapter and a USB 2.0 extension cable. The cable let me position the adapter for maximum signal strength and voila - 54Mbs, rock solid, no dropped connections. Cheaper, better, faster!

The WMP54G-EU PCI card from Linksys is compatible with most desktop computers and lets you install your PC almost anywhere in the building, without the cost and hassle of running network cables. Thanks to the WMP54G-EU, you can check your e-mail, access the Internet, use instant messaging to chat with friends and share files and other resources such as printers and network storage with other computers on the network. The WMP54G-EU even protects your wireless transmissions by encryption (up to 128-bit), so your data always stays secure.
