Customer Reviews

It works, but...
It works, and did not require a driver load on Windows XP SP-2. However, it seems to have trouble seeing my Pantech PX-500 air card. It occasionally will simply refuse to recognize that there is even a card present. When it does see the card, it is trouble free for that session. I have not ruled out the possibility that I'm simply doing something wrong.

Quick delivery of solid product
It was a bit difficult to track down a PCMCIA to PCI adapter card as most adapter cards are for PCI to PCMCIA. It's a solid product and arrived quickly, easy to install. Works as advertised. Great!

excellent item
The adapter was easy to install and worked exactly as I needed with my Air Card.
