Good with AvantGo. Lacks software features
By Todd Wynia
I use this card with my Sony Clie NX70V/U. It's relatively easy to install and get up and going with a program like AvantGo or the browser that comes with the Clie. I think the software could use some improvement. I had to manually go in and tell it what network to connect to. The software doesn't proactively go out and see what wi-fi networks are available. You have to fill in the network ID manually.
So for instance if I go to a hotel that has wi-fi, and I want to connect to their network, first I have to figure out the name of their wi-fi network so that I can attempt to connect. As vs. my laptop with a LinkSys wi-fi card where I stick in my wi-fi card, and it automatically goes out and tells me what networks are available and I can just click on the one I want to connect to.
If the software was more functional, it would also be nice as a wi-fi hotspot identifier. It would be nice to walk into an airport or hotel and quickly identify whether or not there is a wi-fi hotspot using my PDA without having to boot up the laptop.

Works extremely well on home network
By Brent
I purchased this wireless LAN card specifically for use on my home network (a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router), and i could not be happier.
The card works exactly as Sony said; one merely plugs it into the CLIE, configures the network settings, and it is ready for use. I use the 128-bit WEP encryption built into the card as a rule, and it also works beautifully.
This product along with the Netfront web browser (included on the original CLIE CD) make for very fast and enjoyable web surfing at home on the CLIE.

Good speed, poor network recognition
By Tony Cooper
The LAN card worked great on my two known networks, but was a bit of a hassle when looking to add a network connection. It was very smooth and quick once connected. Though it's time consuming setting up an unknown connection, it works extremely well once operating.
