Iogear Wireless-G Short Card works good.......2006-06-13

I saw this card on amazon and said wow look at the size and price so i got it. It does not get as good a signal as my old card did but there is not much of a difference. I have had it for about 3 months and it is still working great and i have not had to take it out ever time i take my laptop somewhere like i did with my old one.

Works for 30 seconds - then dies.......2005-08-17

If I restart the card (disable/enable), it will connect for about 30 seconds (if I'm very close to my router) - then the signal strength drops to nothing.

Serious Driver Problems.......2005-08-10

I tried runnning this card on an IBM thinkpad running windows 2000 with serious problems. I followed the installation instructions and the drivers kept coming up broken. I tried the card on a friend's Toshiba using XP, it didn't work there either. I ended up trying to install it in four computers with no luch. I know my way around wireless card installation, but this was near impossible. This card is not for novices. Eventually, I came across a message board thread that linked to drivers not on the company website. Once the card was installed, it worked well and recieved a respectable signal.

Even when the card works, however, you should be very careful. This card run extraordinarily hot. I have used other cards, the temperature on this one is not normal. If you have a laptop with heat issues I would stay away from this card, as it could destroy your computer.

Stay away from this card.
