Were it expresscard I might be interested. Hopefully some good mini-PCI cards hit this price.

not bad. wish i had an older notebook

I have an old laptop with a flaky Belkin G card (not my primary laptop). This would be a good replacement for the Belkin card, but it's probably worth more than the old laptop.

I have a D-Link DIR-655 802.11n router and was wondering if this cardbus would be compatible. The D-Link cards go for at least 70 bucks. I would understand different manufacturers might not be compatible but the standards should be the same.

802.11n is 802.11n. Brands don't make a difference.

Well, when you bring your laptop to a coffee shop that has free internet, does it matter what brand of router the coffee shop uses?

This is an excellent card. It's main advantage is not speed, it is range. (If you're connecting to the Internet, the bottleneck is the speed of the Internet connection, not the speed to the router.) I use it with a D-Link router just fine.

802.11n lets me connect with a strong signal anywhere in our house or yard, with no dead areas. Actually, we can connect from all the way down the street as well.

I bought two from this NewEgg deal about a month ago, to upgrade older laptops.

This was the cheapest n deal I have found. Even the low end brands cost more.

Newegg said this item wasn't available but it gave a similar sounding WPC300N-BP which I ordered. Does "BP" stand for "bare product" here? If so, what would the BP version lack compared to the non-BP version?

Also, does anyone here have experience with this card on linux? If you got it to work in linux, what driver/recipe did you use?

Thanks!

BP basically means its blister pack. versus the other version is in a box, its basically the same thing, just different packaging.

Got one and works great

Thanks, jay_nite. Did it work great on linux or windoze?
