I've done some diggin around - these SiteCom units are rebadged Z-Com products (www.zcom.com.tw)

The PCCard is the XL300/B product
The USB is the XL750
The PCI Adaptor is the XL600

The ultilty programs seem to work better (ie they work full stop !)

There are linux drivers, etc too.

[ukha_d] Cheap Wireless NIC - Report.

Category:




Well, I bought 2 x PC Cards, and 1 x PCI Adaptor (for the server) from PC World.


This morning I took back 1 x pc card and the pci adaptor - the pci adaptor was causing all sorts of problems, including locking up the system, etc. I've now swapped for a USB one and works fine (and saved a tenner) - this was on a Win2K server and Win XP server. Win XP refused to even acknowledge anything was in the pci adaptor.


I have these running in peer-peer mode, and , next to each other, getting 450k/sec - not bad at all.


So the pc card and usb together was £110 !
