Not sure what's all the hype about. This is actually slower than my wireless G. The fastest I got this to go was 36 mpbs. My wireless G card could go up to 108

Great little Wireless N adapter that performs as you'd expect, i'm writing this review right now on my N connection, on average I get around 270 Mbps over my local network.
Installed right away on Windows 7 RC, just plug and play, no need to use the driver CD or search the website for a compatible driver.
Form factor isn't anything special, it's like any PCMCIA card, but at least it's not massive or intrusive, and it has a glossy finish on the underside of it, although i'm not sure why.
Lights on the top of the card clearly indicate what you'd expect, power and link/act as they're labeled.
The only reason I give this card 4 stars is that it doesn't come with any form of Linux drivers, and my Slackware distro doesn't have a generic driver that works for it like it did for my onboard wireless G or another Linksys PCMCIA card I have, also wireless G, so for the moment, I have to wait till I can find a Linux driver (or modify an existing driver) before my Linux life can come into the wireless N world. Minor annoyance for me that wont affect most people.

Works great on an old 700mhz laptop.
Only reason I gave it a 4 star is because I have yet to test it at anywhere near it's top speed rating.

Card is not very reliable. It keeps loosing the signal. Could be due to the fact that my laptop is old. I was expecting better performace regardless.

Did what it supposed to do while its last.
Start getting problems after 36 days until it peacefully died at the young age of 45 gays.
Tried to revive a few times but to no avail.
