I only used this for a couple of days before upgrading to a gigabit card, but I had no issues installing or with operation. Very nice that it came with WOL cable. Most don't. Will keep this for a spare.
My wife was having network problems with her Dell Desktop computer running Windows XP. After trying all the various network set-up changes to no avail I installed this card and shut off the internal network interface. XP recognized the card, it worked immediately out of the box with little or no setup, and all internet connections seem to work a bit faster now. This was $13 well spent.
I recently obtained a hard driveless, nicless pc. I found this NIC and it was a good price ($0.97). (Also, no power cables or anything). I needed a NIC for it (as its original was removed). I accidently ordered two, but the price was so low I didn't notice.Installation was easy, just put it in the PCI slot and put the screw back. Debian (Lenny - Testing) found it immediately like Linux does with most hardware and it worked fine.
The Belkin F5D5000 32 Bit PCI Desktop Network Card that I purchased works great. Absolutely no problem with installation.
I received the adapter in a timely manner. The adapter driver was installed automatically (i.e., I plugged and it played). I installed the adapter in an older machine (Gateway 1.3-GHz P4, 5-6 years old) with no problem. I'm running XP professional. I now have the adapter cabled to a "2-Wire" (brand name) modem, and everything is working flawlessly. I'm very pleased with the supplier, the product performance, and, especially, the price.
