excellent product . built-in connector avoids the need for a dongle. if you have a cable connector for your ethernet it will not connect to this device. this device is only for RJ-45 type connectors.

D-Link DFE-690TXD 10/100TX CardBus Adapter, 32-bit Reviews
Works Perfectly Easy to Install . Within 15 minutes of receiving this card I had my local area network up and running between two computers. Admittedly, I was looking to do something very simple: two computers, side by side, connected with an RJ45 cable (not included with the card). The drivers included on the CD-ROM work fine with Windows 98. My only complaints are that the card sticks out of the PCMCIA slot about an inch and that if you remove the card and reinsert it the card needs to reinstall (a simple process). I bought this card as a cheap test to see if I could set up a simple network before trying to tackle a wireless network. I am so satisfied that I will probably buy D-Link wireless hardware.

D-Link DFE-690TXD 10/100TX CardBus Adapter, 32-bit Opinions
Great performance ! . I bought this PCMCIA network adapter for my two year old Dell Inspiron 600m, which was giving me nightmares for the past three months in trying to connect it to any LAN via ethernet. I tried all kinds of solutions to fix it, ranging from driver updates, card reinstallation and hard disk formatting, but to no avail!
Finally, I was advised to get a PCMCIA network adapter or send my motherboard for a check up! I obvioulsy chose the former. After a couple of days of searching and reading on the net, I decided on this 32bit D-Link adapter, and my life has become a whole lot better. The installation of the card took 2 minutes, and the hardware was recognized immediately thereafter (by my Windows XP OS). The performance has been extremely satisfactory and seamless!
I would recommend it to anyone who is having similar problems with ethernet networks.

Works with Kubuntu! . Works right out of the box with Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Shutdown the PC first, insert the Ethernet adapter into the PCMCIA/Cardbus slot, and restart. The system recognized the new adapter straightaway and Internet functional within seconds. Unlike Windows, did not require installation of USB drivers...just plug-and-play!
D-Link CardBus 32-bit Ethernet Adapter . Following the manufacturer's instructions contained on the included CD, the adapter installed within minutes and worked perfectly.
I would recommend this product to anyone requiring a basic Ethernet adapter for their laptop computer.

Decent item Decent price . Decent item, decent price. I bought this for a old laptop to connect to the internet. Works fine!
D-Link Fast Ethernet 32 Bit Card Bus DFE TXD 690 . I would recommend this product because of its ease of us and its immediate recognition in a computer. It really isn't any faster than the Netgear FA-511 or any other wired ethernet PC 32 bit Bus card. You can only connect as fast as your cable or phone service can connect you.
Card . It works as advertised. If you need a RealTek-based PCcard, this one fits the bill.
Works with Windoze . I bought one of these, new, for the price of a couple of McD's meals, and it's allowed me to bring a small wireless "modem" (from my ISP) into work, hook it up to an aging, otherwise stand-alone laptop I had gathering dust at home, and get good, private Internet access (on my own time) *without* connecting through my company's network, creating any security issues or bringing down the wrath of my corporate LAN-Lords. It's not the fastest thing around, but it is reliable on every Microsoft OS from W98 on - and maybe earlier ones, too. W2K supports it directly, so it's essentially "plug and play" on my old laptop.
I'd give it five stars if it handled 1000TX too, or worked flawlessly with Macs - but right now neither is necessary. And the price was right.

Cons Review
Mac OSX Kernel Panics . This is a strange one. On MacOSX 10.2.8, it works fine with the DSL modem at 10M, but is a disaster with the school network at 100M. And by disaster, I mean: Kernel Panics. It's the kind of crash where everything stops, the screen dims, and you get the "you must restart your macintosh" in four languages. To address this, I did the following: 1) re-installed the driver (1.1.3); 2) re-installed OSX 10.2.8; 3) re-installed OSX 10.2.8 without preserving user or internet settings; 4) erased my MacOSX partition and re-installed everything from scratch. Still, I get kernel panics within 10 minutes of going online at 100M, and at no other time (even with the card used for 10M dsl; even when card is plugged in but not attached). Note: user reviews of d-link's USB wi-fi dongle for MacOSX record a similar problem.Until this problem is corrected, I strongly recommend against use of this card for MacOSX 10.2.8 installations.
