"Worst wireless card"
I installed on my laptop with XP. It does not work. Also during the installation I got some kind of warning message indicating me to not install this software. I called technical service. They are very busy so they took my number and they will call back. Having technical service busy is not a good indication. It should be plug and play. I wish I had spent little more money to get a better card.

"Excellent Card for the MONEY..."
You really can't go wrong with this card. The reception is excellent the price is awesome.

"Problems for XP version"
I have a COPMPAQ laptop that runs on Windows XP. The driver software i got on the CD when i purchased the wireless card had problems and so downloaded the one they have on the website, and for two months i had no problems. Once i updated my windows XP and my antivirus protection, it somehow dumped its physical memory contents (the wireless software)as though the software was never installed, and now it doesn't work at all. Every time i insert it into the laptop, the system is forced to restart itself.
If there's anyone who has the same problem or know a solution, plz let me know at lsamuel@sunyrockland.edu.
I guess a good buy has certain disadvantages to itself.

"Easy to install and good reception"
Received the card a few days after I ordered it from Amazon. After reading many reviews, I downloaded the driver from the Trendnet website instead of using the CD that came with the card. Unzipped and installed the files, re-started my laptop and inserted the card. Everything went smoothly and I was surfing the web in 5 mins. I read Gary's review about the card not working for his IBM Thinkpad and was skeptical at first since I am also using an IBM Thinkpad running Windows98 SE. But mine works perfectly and very good reception. Highly recommend it!

"Recommended"
I buyed 3 of this cards. They works fine in winXP with and without Service Pack 2. This cards are very cheap and works good. I connect them to a Linksys WRT54g. [...]

The card uses Texas Instruments chips. Seems like the chipset company don't support Linux. Hence, the card is not easily to install in Linux OS. You can find some web pages describing the linux instalation, but I had no time to do a try.

The non-Linux support is the only reason to give them 3 star. I will like to have a plug&play linux support as is the case of a lot of other cards.
