| Review | Rating | Last Updated | dont do it
first of all.. it aint compatible w/windows xp and even if by some miracle you got it to work ,it only uses the version 1 pcmcia card which belkin dont make anymore.! man what a nightmare.! luckily I only paid 10 bucks +$5 s/h and was able to pawn it for the same amount THANK GOD so my advice is try another route. | 1 | Today | Terrible product
This is a terrible product. I have had the device not working error (10) and have tried every configuration. Buy something else and not Belkin networking. | 1 | Today | Very picky
Well, I bought this thing knowing that I had a version 1 Belkin PCMCIA card. I installed the PCI card and STILL got an error signal. IT turns out that EVEN among the Version 1 PCMCIA cards, there are some that will not function with the PCI adapter. Supposedly, Belkin labeled some wrong and some nonfunctional ones got mixed into the batch. Although it took forever to get a solution from Tech Support, they were nice enough to send me a brand new PCMCIA card that WOULD work with the PCI adapter. Perhaps my only suggestion with this product and any PCMCIA to PCI adapter is to do your research VERY IN DEPTH, because in this case you have to cross the T's and dot the I's to know for sure that this product will work! | 3 | Today | Ditto, this stinks
I agree, this is a piece of crap, and doesn't work with XP. Belkin also doesn't have any updates or fixes on their website. And I still haven't received my $20 rebate for purchasing this thing from Office Max, and that was nearly a year ago. In fact, I don't think I've ever received a rebate for things I purchased at Office Max, but it is hard to say for certain, because their advertised rebate specials are never in stock. On the flipside, the laptop card works fine. | 1 | Today | Okay adapter - but not a PCI-PCMCIA bridge
I bought this thinking that it was a generic PCMCIA - PCI bridge...so I could use any pcmcia card in it. However it uses firmware that only works with the belkin 802.11b pcmcia card. You can't upgrade your wireless and you can't use it for modems or other pcmcia cards...it does what it says but nothing more. | 4 | Today | Does not seem to work with F5D6020 ver 2 PC Card
I thought I would be smart and go the route of buying a PC card for my Lappy and then the adapter for my desktop so that I could use my PCCard in a PCI desktop slot. I got the F5D6020 like the info tells us to do to use the above product. The PC card works great for my Lappy and I am able to connect to my wireless network no problem. The issue though is that I have installed the PC Card reader that yall see above(i.e. the F5D6000) on my Desktop and plugged in the PCCARD to the adapter. Upon install everything goes great. It looks like everything is a go, but then I get an error. The error says: Device Cannot Start (Code 10) I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, even tried installing the PCI adapter onto another desktop. All results are the same... I get the Code 10 error and the device will not start. I am at wits end and tried to contact tech support. No answer at all!!! I have been to MS Support and even fished the Belkin online support and still nothing stating anything about the product and whats going on. The only thing I have come up with is the fact that my F5D6020 card is a version 2 model, what ever this means. I have Googled my heart out and nothing seems of importance. I am stuck and no help forth coming and no support from the site at all. Why would Belkin create an identical PC CARD and name it the same freaking thing if it would not work in this reader. Also why are places allowed to sell these two items with no concern that a incompatability might exist. | 1 | Today | Belkin is a poor excuse for networking
This product is not compatible with windows XP even though it says it is. Their customer support is horrible they have no idea what thay are saying, they cannot speak engligh, they do not know anything about their own products. they will give you a run-a-around if you call them and they will blame you for the product not working. They hung up on me several times. Very Very Very Very VERY RUDE! If you can at all avoid belkin, please do. | 1 | Today | Compatibility issues
It appears that the Netgear MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card will not work with this network adapter. Belkin's site claims: Q: Can the Wireless PCI Card Adapter be used with any other PCMCIA or CardBus adapter cards? A: No, the Wireless PCI Card Adapter F5D6000 will only work with and was only designed to work with the Wireless Notebook Network Card F5D6020. Using other PCMCIA or CardBus adapter cards will not work. | 1 | Today |
