Strengths: Most powerfull card I've used, picks up 3 times the access points as my external usb (orinoco) card and my SMC card when driving around.
Weaknesses: Lights can be annoying, first card I got didn't work. Can be expensive if you don't look around ( $30 at buy.com).
Summary: The first one of these I got didn't work, however that may of been because I didn't plug it in according to the instructions, you're supposed to shut off your computer before inserting it (the first time anyway). The second one I got worked great, has incredible reception (max is better than -50 Signal/Noise dBm in net stumbler). Asante doesn't have a client utility for Windows XP, so you have to use the integrated windows networking. If you do any wardriving, or just need a stronger signal from your wireless network, this is a great card.
