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.

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!
Rating: - excellent item
The adapter was easy to install and worked exactly as I needed with my Air Card.
Rating: - Very useful
So far, I've been using it for a Wireless PCMCIA card in my desktop computer with no problems at all. Easy installation!
Rating: - Does its job well...
I purchased this adapter because I wanted to use an internet aircard on a desktop computer and the local computer stores didn't carry anything that would work. I installed it on a XP Pro machine and it works great with a CDMA aircard, however the internet speed is limited to the maximum PCI bus speed but this is another issue. Great product and excellent price.
