 Screwy jackJan 27, 2010
By Michael McCaffrey
The pop-up RJ-45 port is screwy, and something that will eventually break. What's the point of it? Since the card protrudes from the PC anyway, what is the advantage of the end of the card being about 1 centimeter slimmer when no cable is plugged in? If you don't have a cable plugged in, you probably don't have the card plugged in anyway.

 10/100/1000 all in one works wonders for IT ProsNov 20, 2007
By Philip (Doc) Engstrume
"Doc"
Let's get this straight once and for all. GB and Gb are NOT the same. GB is Gigabyte and Gb is gigabit. B == Byte and b == bits. 8 bits make a byte so now you can calculate the numbers on your own.
I bought this product as a B-Day gift for myself as I would like to have a GigaBit Network Interface Card for my laptop so I can get the full potential usage of my clients gigabit networks and transfer data at alarming rates compared to a 100 Mb network speeds.
The Cons: The cover which has the "Linksys" logo on it, it keeps popping off, it is not a full molded piece as it appears and you have to lift the top up in order to insert the patch cable. After a while of wear, sometimes if you move laptop and the wire is hanging off down to the floor your connection comes disconnected from your network. And forget about D.O.S. support driver for using Ghost to link up to your network to image your laptop. Not a very good move on Linksys' part to work in a commercial environment when a user "corrupts" or thrashes their operating system.
The Pro's: Reliable within Windows' XP operating system. Never skips a beat and is very fast when connected to a GigaBit network. Transfer 3 GigaBytes at about 1 GigaByte a minute so three minutes for 3GB or over 60 GB in an hour. I transfer over 10-15GB to back up critical data (My Documents) frequently because I corrupt my Operating System or experiment with other Operating Systems like Linux builds such as SuSE and Mandriva distros, but have not used this PCMCIA Network Interface Card with these Linux Distros yet. I have been too busy with life to toy with them, yet. But I bet this will be supported with Mandriva 2008.0 and a newer version of SuSE (9.2 is the latest I have).
Overall: Great Buy, Great Price, Great Product (For the most part).

Be aware of ethernet cable issues.Dec 04, 2007
By R. Keith Butterfield
Be aware of ethernet cable issues. Even though the Cat5e spec is for cables up to 300 meters long, you may have issues with a much shorter cable, depending on factors such as the quality of the cable, the connections, bends in the cable, etc. I experienced data loss with a 90 foot cable.
Otherwise, the adapter works fine with a shorter cable.
