- The D-Link Wireless N Cardbus Network Kit (DKT-360) provides a better wireless signal for your network than existing wireless 802.11g technology. Upgrading your wireless home network to Wireless N provides an excellent solution for sharing an Internet connection and files such as video, music, photos, and documents.
- Cardbus adapters. Cardbus is a 32bits bus that runs at 33MHz, and is in many ways simular to the PCI bus. In fact under Linux Cardbus adapters are handled by the PCI subsystem. You can differentiate a PC Card adapter from a Cardbus adapter as the later has a gold coloured grounding strip IBM 11 a/b/g Wireless Cardbus Adapter. Chipset: Atheros.
The CB1000BT uses two indicators to show network status. F - When flashing, indicates network activity L - When solid, indicates a link with the network Specifications Instruction Manual 3 Form Factor / Interface CardBus, Type II (32-bit) Data Transfer Rates 1000, 100, 10 Mbits/sec. Via auto-negotiation (Full and half duplex modes supported).
*1 - Not sure if this driver works.
*2 - Use when booting the disk via a PXE remote boot image
*3 - This works for some motherboards (eg ASUS A7N-266), but not for others.
*4 - Also works for some D-LINK 530 cards
*5 - Not the original driver's filename!
Important Notes
1. Only the popular PCI Cards are autodetected! However there is some less popular PCI cards on the disk which aren't autodetected. (If you know the card's PnP Vendor/Device ID's, please email me :)
2. ALL ISA and PC Cards have to be manaually selected. These can't be auto-detected.
Unlisted / Generic Chipsets
You'll find many other network cards will work too, providing they are based on the same chipset as one of the included drivers. This is very common for many cheaper network cards!
Cardbus Card Reader
If a network card does not autodetect, then it's a good idea to look on the network card itself to see what type of chipset it uses. Then upon booting the disk, manually select which driver to load.
Confusing Card Names = Which driver???
Some network cards uunfortunately have the same name or very similar names, yet use a totally different driver. This sometimes adds a lot of confusion to the process of selecting the right driver. (not to mention putting the correct driver on the disk in the first place!
Examples of these types of cards are:
- Linksys LNE100TX with about 5 different sub versions all with different drivers
- D-Link 530 vs D-Link 530+ (note: plus vs no-plus)
- Xircom Cards
What are the best cards to use?
If you have a choice of what card to use with the disk, I'd recommend choosing a card that uses a unversial driver for every card that uses that chipset.
For Example:
- Intel Pro 100/1000 series
- Realtek Cards
- Broadcom B44,B57
- 3COM 905 series PCI Cards
Of course this still relies on the fact the the bootdisk needs the latest driver, so the latest cards released will still work.
Still Not Working?
Some of the more uncommon cards/drivers have not been fully tested yet. While all these drivers should work, I don't have access to every card myself for testing.

The Wireless PC Card has widespread utilities that make it flexible, easy to configure and to manage.
Cardbuss Network & Wireless Cards Drivers
Outdated Drivers?
Unless you update your drivers regularly you may face hardware performance issues.
To check your drivers you should manually verify every device on your system for driver updates
The high quality of the 802.11 a/b/g Wireless CardBus PC Card is the reason why its price is high. The high price should not be a concern for those who want to invest in quality network device. The new PC Card upgrade makes use of simplified client utility software that increases its effectiveness. It also has an inbuilt site survey utility that allows users to scan the local environment in order to identify or locate Wi-FI access points. The 802.11 a/b/g Wireless CardBus PC Card offers increased connection reliability that eliminates signal weakness as well as increasing its performance. The PC Card features a low-profile form factor and comes with a 2-meter long cable that allows for easier installation in devices such as point of sale (POS) and slim desktops. The inclusion of a dual-band antenna allows the card to be optimally placed for increased performance. It is highly recommended you run a free registry scan for Windows and 802.11 a/b/g Wireless CardBus PC Card errors before installing any driver updates.
