Title: Linksys PC Card v3 - Don't Do It
Product review: I am an IT professional with 14 years of experience. I have the Linksys wireless hub and love it. I have been using the Orinoco PC card with the hub and have been very pleased. I bought a new Dell laptop for my wife. I bought the Linksys PC Card v3 to connect the Dell laptop to the network. The Linksys PC Card's performance is (bad). I have now tried the Orinoco and Linksys cards head to head in the Dell computer. Where the Orinoco card gets a good signal, the Linksys card gets a poor signal. It also appears that the Linksys driver locks up the Dell laptop when restoring from a sleep or hibernate state. I have not experienced the lock ups with the Orinoco. I attempted to update the firmware in the Linksys card, but I couldn't get the upgrade program to work, it was looking for some system files that did not exist. Do not buy this card, even if you have had success with other Linksys products.
