Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very good + works with Linux Comment: I have been using this card for three months now, since the built in network card on my Acer aspire 1640 packed in, and have never had a single problem with this product since then. I use Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on my laptop and did not even have to install any drivers, however I have also installed it on my XP machine and I would recommend just installing the drivers and forgetting about the TP-Link software. This is because the microsoft windows network manager is much better than the one supplied with this card. Overall, this card is very good value for money, well made and ideal for Linux users. Customer Rating: Summary: Works great with Ubunto, Debian, Windows Comment: I bought this card to replace the broken built in wifi card on my Acer Aspire 1672wlmi Laptop. I am dual booting Windows XP and Debian, and it worked well under both. 4 stars because on the windows installation, it installed some 3rd party wireless network scanner which offered no obvious extra functionality to the standard XP Wireless Network support, and meant another 15 minutes of uninstalling, rebooting and reconfiguring. It was a lot easier on Debian, just a quick download and install from the MadWifi site (or adding additional repos and install madwifitools using a package manager, up to you). I've been using Ubunto recently, and on the latest stable version the card installs and connects to my BT Home Hub instantly, which is great news for anyone running Ubunto or any of its relations. The card has worked faultlessly since I bought it about 6 months ago, and you still can't beat the price! Customer Rating: Summary: Use Widows WiFi Comment: TP-Link TL-WN510G 54Mbps PCMCIA Wireless LAN Cardbus I bought this card for an old Dell Inspiron 7500 as it has no ethernet socket (Windows XP). It works very well but the reception is very position dependent (hence 4 stars). In my experience it is often better to install the drivers only and let Windows take care of the WiFi connection which is what I did in this case. Some of the third party control software is confusing to use and a bit flakey. Customer Rating: Summary: Works well with Ubuntu Linux Comment: Happy to say this works well with Ubuntu Linux (7.10/Gutsy) :) I've done no config, just plugged it in and turned on the laptop. Then I just had to use NetworkManager to choose the network I wanted to use. Have only tried with an open network and WEP, but there are options for WPA so it looks like it should work with that to. (With my old card NetworkManager hid the options for WPA). Unlike the picture, this one says 108Mbps on the side, and the code is TL-WN610G. So I guess that this is a newer version. It uses the Atheros chipset. lspci reports 06:00.0 Ethernet Controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.

This card hasnt dropped a connection yet. Its cheap but it works nothing much more to say software was easy and drivers to install. More Reviews
