What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: This card is nice in that I used it to bring new life into the network adapter that was in an old broken laptop of mine. It required me to install the driver for the original NIC, but that's par for the course. Once it was in, this computer was wireless.
 
Cons: the clamp for the antenna on the physical card itself was rather difficult to attach with my bare hands. it was like a female chihuahua getting mated by a male mastiff. other than that, the puppies were cute.
 
Other Thoughts: perhaps the dog analogy was a little extreme, but then again, so were the deals!!!
 
Bottomline: never play leap frog with a unicorn

Works Fine With Intel Devices

Pros: This is a  "hardware" adaption only, the electronics on the board are just for voltage changing, so no driver issues. I have only tested with an Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG from a broken laptop and it works just fine. Because it is a hardware adaption if the mini-PCI device works with  Linux then so will this. My test rig is Fedora 8 and it works great on this.
 
Cons: There are no cons really, just not clear why you would want one. I got it simply to use a salvaged laptop card in a desk top, and for the price (UK £4.50) it's worth doing.
 
Other Thoughts: No idea why the other reviewer could not get it to work.....
 
Bottomline: Yes it works and may save you a bit if you have a Mini PCI card laid about doing nothing.

well build if you get it to work

Pros: Well built product 
Cons: I can't get it work to work with my mini pci wifi card. 
Other Thoughts:  
Bottomline: buy it only if you have mini card laying around and you know you can get them working.
