Product Review Summary: Craptastic card

Used this with an Abit KG7 mobo.
Card locks up the computer at completely random intervals. I've gone to the vendor's website and grabbed the latest updates & drivers. No help.
The install instructions mention not using Windows zero wireless configuration but the included programs make no provision for connecting to secure networks.
You may be able to use it with an unsecured network if you're sure all of your neighbors like you well enough that they won't poach your connection to send death threats to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

Product Review Summary: BSOD condition

I don't have objective evidence, but I suspect this hardware driver has compatibility problems with some systems, i.e., HP dc5700 minitower running Windows XP. My system has a bluetooth adapter enabled. I devoted 3-4 hours to trying to get it to work, thought I had it, then I got the dreaded blue screen of death(again) for the last time. The mfgr support would only tell me to reinstall, which is par, but which did not provide a solution. I'm sending it back.

Product Review Summary: FAJ

NEVER Buy anything from PCI MIRCO!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!! AMAZON SHOULD NOT LET SELL FROM THERE SITE!!!!!!!!!!!! product didn't work, so I sent it back for refund or to replace the non working card. I'm happy to tell anyone out there that PCI MIRCO sent the same broken card back!!!!!! NEVER!!!! buy anything from PCI MIRCO!!!!!!!NEVER

Product Review Summary: Terrible Software

The software application that comes with this adapter is very flaky. After I installed it, I started getting a login prompt after boot-up. And upon login, I always got 2 error pop-ups. After installing, the application always allowed me to configure the adapter, but after rebooting, the application no longer even functioned. I tried installing/uninstalling a few times to try different scenarios. One time I got a blue screen during uninstall.

I guess I should not have ignored the Windows warning that this software did not pass the Windows logo test. I'm returning this product.

Product Review Summary: Locks up my computer

It took me a while to understand this card was the source of my computer freezing every few seconds, but noticing that Metatrader 4 sounded a disconnect alarm during the freeze-up made it obvious. Repairing my wireless connection would get rid of it for a variable amount of time, but it always returned. I tried everything Trendnet suggested, I even reinstalled Windows XP, (which gave me a nice clean fast new installation free of all the junk I had accumulated!) but nothing helped. I'm buying a new card, probably the Super G 802.11BG Wireless Pci 64 Bit Xp Compliant Turbo Mode by MSI, since it has the best reviews.
