 Rating:  - Second thoughts are best - or worstI installed this, loaded it, and wrote a rave review. Then I discovered that when I started my computer, the link was dead and the TP-Link desktop icon didn't lead me to anywhere useful. I needed to reinstall every time I started up (took about 5 min, including a reboot), or even on reawakening the machine (an old Dell Latitude) from hibernation. At last, I worked out how to do it: delete the TP installation altogether, and, ignoring TP's instructions, reinstall using the ... Read More Rating:  - Very good + works with LinuxI have been using this card for three months now, since the built in network card on my Acer aspire 1640 packed in, and have never had a single problem with this product since then. I use Ubuntu Linux 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on my laptop and did not even have to install any drivers, however I have also installed it on my XP machine and I would recommend just installing the drivers and forgetting about the TP-Link software.

It works very well but the reception is very position dependent (hence 4 stars). In my experience it is often better to install the drivers only and let Windows take care of the WiFi connection which is what I did in this case. Some of the third party control software is confusing to use and a bit flakey. Rating: - Works well with Ubuntu LinuxHappy to say this works well with Ubuntu Linux (7.10/Gutsy) :) I've done no config, just plugged it in and turned on the laptop. Then I just had to use NetworkManager to choose the network I wanted to use. Have only tried with an open network and WEP, but there are options for WPA so it looks like it should work with that to. (With my old card NetworkManager hid the options for WPA). Unlike the picture, this one says 108Mbps on the side, and the code is TL-WN610G. So I guess that ...
