Delt with them but I really don't trust their products that much to say
anythig good. I had horrible experiences with both of their products in
the past and I'm kind of an big person to try something once I had some
bad experiences. Rececently, I use a lot of D-LINK and SMC Card.
I recommend some of the D-LINK COMBO Cards, they work well for me.
