I HAVE THREE OF THESE LITTLE JEWELS. ALL THREE WORK VERY WELL. ALL THREE ARE INSTALLED IN DESKTOPS USING AN ADAPTER FROM LOGIC SUPPLY. JUST DOWNLOAD/INSTALL DRIVERS FROM INTEL. WORKS! IT'S THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS WITH LINUX...KERNEL HAS THE DRIVER! WIN2K. WINXP. IT WORKS!

I suggest that prior to purchasing this card you do a Google search for "2200BG problems" and you will see what the brutal reality of the 2200BG is in the marketplace. Intel seems to be incapable (after many releases) of writing a 2200BG driver that actually works and does not repeatedly drop connections even in the face of a strong signal. Do yourself a favor and put a different card in your notebook. I struggled with this piece of garbage for months as have hundreds if not thousands of other users. I would love to have a nickel for every hour I spent trying to get this card to work.

This card came in my dell Inspiron 700m. Still battling with it to try to get it to work. Have tried numerous fixes- connecting via different channel, getting latest drivers, connecting securely and insecurely, reseating the card, connecting on b instead of g band, increasing power amount to signal... nothing has worked. Many people have been posting on tech support boards with same problem. It is either an incompatibility with certain routers (I have Linksys) or it is a stodgy card. Unfortunately there don't seem to be a lot of mini pci alternatives and Dell and HP laptops both come with this card.
