I purchased the card for two reasons: 1) faster internet access than the wireless adapter I have and 2) to enable faster movement of files from the laptop to my home server using Gig-E. My laptop is running WinXP and the card installed without any problems. One of the easiest installs I have ever done. Review: Works as advertised - I purchased this network card to install into an old Dell laptop with the intention of turning the laptop into an internet gateway/router. This network card worked great and was compatible with all linux/router distributions that I tried. ## Features - PC Card provides Gigabit Ethernet functionality - Auto-sensing port eliminates need for manual switching - Smart Wizard makes installation a breeze - Backed by 1-year warranty - Device measures 4.38 x 0.56 x 2.13 inches (WxHxD) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002VITFU | | Brand | NETGEAR | | Color | Assorted | | Compatible Devices | Mouse | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 30 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Gigabit Ethernet , IEEE 802 | | Data Transfer Rate | 1000 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00606449035858, 10606449035855 | | Hardware Interface | Ethernet | | Manufacturer | Netgear | | Mfr Part Number | GA511 | | Model Number | GA511 | | UPC | 606449035858 606449042085 | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** NETGEAR - **Color:** Assorted - **Compatible Devices:** Mouse - **Data Link Protocol:** Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802 - **Data Transfer Rate:** 1000 Megabits Per Second - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00606449035858, 10606449035855 - **Hardware Interface:** Ethernet - **Manufacturer:** Netgear - **UPC:** 606449035858 606449042085 ## Images ![NETGEAR GA511 Gigabit Ethernet PC Card - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/111auChWW3L.jpg) ![NETGEAR GA511 Gigabit Ethernet PC Card - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31WWOIJcdHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great card! *by C***N on September 12, 2009* This card works very well. I purchased the card for two reasons: 1) faster internet access than the wireless adapter I have and 2) to enable faster movement of files from the laptop to my home server using Gig-E. My laptop is running WinXP and the card installed without any problems. One of the easiest installs I have ever done. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised *by R***C on August 29, 2013* I purchased this network card to install into an old Dell laptop with the intention of turning the laptop into an internet gateway/router. This network card worked great and was compatible with all linux/router distributions that I tried. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as expected *by A***A on May 9, 2007* I bought this card for use with a linux laptop (Dell Inspiron 5100). And it worked right out of the box. I am running Fedora Core 6. Keep in mind that you wont be able to get the full gigabit speeds with a PCMCIA card. My cursory testing got me around 380Mbps. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/20835600-netgear-ga511-gigabit-ethernet-pc-card](https://www.desertcart.be/products/20835600-netgear-ga511-gigabit-ethernet-pc-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-12*
