This card works fine. I would venture to say that almost all of the one-star ratings out there have working cards. When using this, or any other USB 2.0 cardbus you have to pay attention to the current draw of the devices you are plugging into it. High power devices require the use of the auxilliary power cable (the little circle plug in between the USB ports) to work properly. If you connect a high power device to this card and don't have the aux power cable attached, you will see erradic behavior ranging from 'Windows can't detect the device' to 'Windows lists the device in My Computer but gives error messages when attempting to transfer files or complete normal operations.' Results can even be intermittent if the current draw is close to the cardbus's current output threshhold. In any case you are not getting the expected performance, like the subject line says, read the f'ing manual.

Failed Quickly.......2007-01-08

It worked for about 2 weeks on my Inspiron (XP), but then wouldn't be recognized. I tried downloading the driver from IO Gear, but no luck.

It works okay.......2006-03-24

It works, although I'm not getting faster preformance from the attached peripherals. It was easy to install. My Belkin wireless USB notebook adapter doesn't automatically connect to the internet now. It did before when it was plugged into a USB 1.0 hub. The internet connection speed is about the same.

i am buying.......2006-01-16

I am going to get this and have seen some bad reveiws and i want to stranten something out, " IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK UNLESS YOURE SYSTEM IS COMPATIBLY, so check your system compatabilty since most likely if your buying it your system is melliniem or below and it won't work with the minimum either i have a 95 and i used some new hardware on it and my 95 met the minimum combatibility but didn't, so make sure youre above the combatability."
