 Nice Device ... Service Nonexistent Apr 30, 2010
I bought this device expecting to receive the same service I would have received if I had bought it in a store. The CD does not contain a driver for Vista, and the computer wouldn't recognize the device. I called customer service for help, and I was told that the warranty expired already on the device even though it was new and had never been used. Beware of buying this from an online retailer other than a big-box company, or you won't be able to get tech support.
It took me about three hours of research to determine the driver I needed (version 1.0). If you are a 32-bit Vista system, you can use this device. If you are a 64-bit, forget it. I did manage to finally download the driver. DO NOT INSTALL THE PCI CARD UNTIL YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED THE DRIVER! I ended up having to uninstall the device and driver I should not have installed and to restart my computer 6 times during the three hour period. I got frustrated and was very short with the tech person, who was "very sorry" about all my difficulties, but could do nothing to help me unless I wanted to purchase another device from her over the phone and upgrade.
Linksys clearly will not stand by their product if you haven't bought it from the right retailer. The web page was not very helpful, and I got better advice from independent forums than from the Linksys site.
That said, now that the device is installed, it is working beautifully. It is about thirty feet from the computer and I had no difficulty streaming Hulu. The wireless is connected to a 54G router, and it's plenty fast enough. If you are an average browser of the Internet, you do not need an N or N+, and I recommend that you do not spend the extra money on the router or wireless.

Installation worked flawlessly on ubuntu 9.1. Installed 9.1 first I installed & updaterd via wired connection. Then enabled wireless via the restricted driver pulldown menu in ubuntu. Did not use the install CD for windows at all.
 Review of Cisco-Linksys Wireless PCI Card with Speedbooster Apr 02, 2010
Provided a CD with drivers for me and it's all working correctly so good purchase.
Wireless PC Card Works Great Feb 01, 2010
Installation is simple. The best way to connect is through whatever wireless connectivity program that comes with your Operating System. Once it is working, it works great and is much easier than rewiring to another room.
Works great. . .without the Linksys software Jan 15, 2010
I installed the Linksys software from the included CD, plugged in the card, and had had a connection, but thereafter my computer froze without provocation. After uninstalling and reinstalling several times, with the same results, I uninstalled the software and plugged in the card. Windows wireless took over and it has worked flawlessly ever since.
