Device: WORKING!
Brandname: SiteCom
Brandtype: PCI Card 100G+ (WL-121V2)
Driver Version: 2.1.22.2 (14-5-2004)
Card Type: PCI
WLAN Connectivity inside: 54 Mbps very good reception.
Tested Encryptions: WEP128, WPA-TKIP, AES
Computer OS: Microsoft Windows XP Pro US SP2

Note:
Compared to the Linksys WMP54G (V2!) its connection is a bit more ~ (waving) than the flatline rock stable Linksys. Sometimes the connection drops a line on the wavebar and than comes back to full range. Never lost connection though and if I tease the card by disabling/enabling or renewing it a few times it always come back properly.
The drivers gave a nice simple install and the Sitecom client manager ROCKS!!! It supports every encryption possible even AES!!!!
I would say this is a very good bargain... since its cheaper than the Linksys and shows some nice extra features
