Summary: Lousy WiFi reception
Comment: (This is for the Version 2 adapter. I don't know if subsequent revisions may be improved).
We have several wireless computing devices on our 802.11b/g home network. Of all these devices, this card has (by far) the most reception problems no matter where you place it. I have a Dell laptop for my work and I can put two other cards in it and almost never lose connection. With this card, I seem to drop out every few minutes (which is a shame because my other cards are still only 802.11b and this one supports WPA instead of the weaker WEP). As a result of the drop outs it's all but useless for connecting to my office VPN when I'm working at home, given the hassle of reconnecting to it. A relatively ancient Belkin card I have, on the other hand, locks on to any decent wireless signal. Unfortunately the old Belkin only supports WEP and is only 11 Mbps, but it shows that the drop outs on this Linksys card aren't a result of weak signals.
Maybe subsequent revisions of this card got it right, but when I can't pull in more than about 30% signal strength with consistency and lose connection every few minutes, it's not really anything I can recommend in the revision I own.
