Works well; instructions for WEP access could be much better.

Easy to install in the computer; not so easy to connect if you've got WEP security enabled on your router.First off, the instruction manual says to install the adapter BEFORE loading the drivers onto the computer from the included CD. But, the "quick installation guide" says the opposite - install the drivers first! Generally I install drivers before hardware, and I did that this time and it worked just fine.The trouble was with making it talk to my router and enabling WEP encryption. The instructions are very vague and incomplete about this. Also the install utility was worthless, unless you're connecting with other forms of security (or none at all.)Fortunately I have another wireless computer with a Netgear adapter in my house, and I was able to look at those settings and make adjustments to the computer with the D-Link adapter. (Both computers have XP; the trick for me was turning off the "let Windows configure my network" option.)To be fair, Netgear's instructions are no better; actually probably worse.So, 5 stars for the product working as expected, 3 for so-so instructions, 4 stars average.

Works Great with Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux

I purchased this wireless network card to replace a flakey Linksys WMP54G Wireless-G PCI Adapter that was used constantly for almost 6 years (card has recently become unreliable).From experience with other computers using this card with Ubuntu Linux since 2006, I knew that this wireless card is recognized by Ubuntu Linux and "works out of the box" without using any special drivers or other tricks like using ndiswrapper with Windows XP drivers. I've been using two of these wireless cards since 2006 and a third one of these cards since 2007. All have proven themselves reliable and Linux-compatible.To save money on my most recent purchase, I purchased a refurbished card ($12.95, free shipping) and received it from the Amazon retailer (Digitalet) in 5 days.For using with Windows XP, I downloaded the latest drivers from the D-Link web site.For dual boot with Ubuntu Linux, I didn't need to download anything (the card was automatically recognized and no special drivers were required).

Clearly made to work with Windows. I have XP.

Setup was a breeze on my XP system. Setup CD was not needed. Device card was immediately recognized and went into service. The network was previously set up.I gave the device only 4 stars for reliability because signal strength from a cable-connected wireless router only 100 feet away fluctuates through the day, between good and very weak, and I don't know the cause. I suspect my cable company (Comcast) for delivering a poor connection; their customer service stinks, so I'll live with it.

Works in Ubuntu - Atheros Chip

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.

reboots and the best I could do was connect briefly to an older ...

My advice to anyone thinking of buying this product would be to look at the dates of the reviews posted. According to the D-Link website, this product has been discontinued (date of discontinuance unknown) and there has been no D-Link support for it since 2011. The date of the driver on the install CD was from 2005, and the date of the latest driver available from the D-Link website is from 2007. Apparently, even my old Windows XP computer is not old enough for this product. I experienced a problem apparently related to Windows Service Pack 3 (which had a release date in 2008 by the way). I spent all day attempting to get it installed. Multiple error messages and multiple re-installs, reboots and the best I could do was connect briefly to an older router that did not support the enhanced security.

WDA-1320 Wireless G desktop adapter

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 great in Windows XP and Linux

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.
