I had three of the cisco cards. I used one of them for about half a year
when it started to make problems although there was not much more than
3 MB on it.
Fortunately, Paul agreed to replace them (a kind of customer service
unknown in Germany) after that long a time without questions asked).
Actually the real replacement process was a bit of a hassle and I guess
the fact that I now have my money back was mostly due to Gary's tireless
nagging them. But I think this was only partially Paul's fault.
However, if you find a card that has been used in a router: Leave it alone.
It cost me on day's worth of notetaking, and I considered myself lucky
that it wasn't more.
