WDA-1320 Wireless G desktop adapter, February 25, 2008
By W. E. Webb (Bluffdale, Utah United States)
The D-link WDA-1320 adapter works well for me. It was easy to install and setup. The signal strength is excellent in my case since the distance between the router and adapter is not that great. I suspect it could be a problem in large homes with multiple rooms between the router and the adapter.

Works in Ubuntu - Atheros Chip, August 14, 2007
By pancake (fremont)
This card works in Ubuntu 7.04 - card was automatically detected and I was online in no time.
Haven't tried Windows yet - I'll post once I've used.
One thing I was curious was that the signal strength ranges around 28 - 33% even though my router is only 15 feet away. I'm afraid to increase the distance but as of now, no discernable speed loss.

It works with Suse 10 without hassle, July 29, 2007
By phoenix (Phoenix, AZ)
I bought this wireless card to replace the Linksys WMP54G v4.1 which I could never make it to work with Suse 10. To my total surprise, this D-Link WDA-1320 works with Suse 10 without any hassle - no need to use Ndiswrapper and 3rd party driver. The card was correctly detected by the system after the machine was booted up in Linux mode (it's a dual boot machine). I configured the card using Suse's YaST2 tool and that's it. This card doesn't have a great range. It comes with a tiny antenna, and even after I replaced the antenna with the bigger antenna from the old Linksys card, the signal stength is still kind of weak. There were also some minor problems during driver installation as usual. But I can't complain as it works just fine and it works with Suse 10 out of the box, thank goodness!
By the way, the card I got has the Hardware Version A1 and Firmware Version 1.0

Works great in Windows XP and Linux, June 27, 2007
By aek03002 (USA)
This adapter was easy to install in my computer, and I was happy to see that not only was it detected and easily installed in Windows XP, but the Feisty Fawn release of Ubuntu as well. The only problem some people may have is that the installation instructions are not very detailed, but anyone who knows anything about PC hardware shouldn't have a problem with it.

No WPA Support in Win2000, June 21, 2007
By Craig Rickel (Kansas City, MO USA)
After the Add Hardware Wizard failed, their installation software appeared to install it fine. It may work once you install it, but if you click on the Profile Manager, your computer will no longer connect to a WPA secured network.
Driver updates didn't help, and their tech support was entirely unsupportive, offering non-solutions and at one point hanging up on me and making me go through the one hour hold time again. Then they told me our only option would be to return the cards and try new ones. So we did, and went with another vendor that actually has tech support that speaks proper English.
