The best thing about this old Asante AL1611 wifi-b card is that it only protrudes 1cm. I use it mainly for surfing in coffee shop with an old Portege 3480CT (P3-600) XP-based laptop, and its fine. Range is mediocre.
This card is based on an old Realtek 80211b chipset. For both WEP & WPA compatibility you must you update to the RTL8180L driver (version 173) - look for this filename: ndis5x-8180(173).zip on the net.
The mfg/dealer rebate of $10 never came through, so I paid $20 for it back in 2004. If you can get it for about $10 or less and just need basic connectivity, its good for what it is. (ad869 from Canada)

Get the AeroLAN AL1611 CardBus adapter and connect to the wireless world. Asanté's 2nd generation 802.11b adapter is the best value in wireless networking. Plug into any Windows-based notebook computer and you'll be on the Internet and moving files - all without wires. The product is compatible with Asanté FR1004AL and all other 802.11b routers and wireless access points. Asanté's advanced antenna is both powerful and compact. When installed into your notebook, the antenna extends only about ˝-inch - easily fitting into most backpacks and bags. Asanté's integrated site survey and configuration utility quickly shows available wireless connections. Need to connect with multiple hotspots or wireless access points with different IDs (SSID) and WEP security codes? Create multiple wireless profiles to precisely fit your needs.
