Question 1

Hi, will this fit in a Acer AX1430G-UW30P ?

Accepted Answer

Sorry I don't know what you need. But I can show you this cards that will work.

StarTech PCI Express Wireless N Adapter - 300 Mbps PCIe 802.11 b/g/n Network Adapter Card - 2T2R 2.2 dBi

This is not my recommendation because I don't have much knowledge in wifi cards but I know more about expansion ports and PC limitations

Question 2

Specs say PC Card slot, but the pic sure looks like PCI(e).  Wonder if it's a typo, and which interface it has?

Accepted Answer

Several options are available for PC  PCI slots: 32-bit and 64-bit, 3.3V and 5V. Accordingly, PCI cards may look different.  NETGEAR WN311B-100NAS is PCI adapter.

Question 3

Judging from comments, only, looks like they need to update the pic, huh? (sure looks like PCI, and not "PC Card", like the "specs" tab states)

Accepted Answer

I used this for a friend in an old desktop whose Ethernet port crapped out. I did not check the data rate, since it was not important on this old desktop. Any rate was better than none. 
Of course a lot could have to do with your internet provider. Time Warner Cable, like I have on my notebook, depends on bandwidth available and how many neighbors are on at the same time!

Question 4

Is this adapter compatible with Windows 8.1 64bit?

Accepted Answer

Sorry I have only used this wifi adapter on windows 7 ultimate SP1
its setup was confusing for me as it required to install the driver before instilling the device its self.
but the tricky part was that the driver installation hangs with out telling you it has completed so you run the driver setup wait a while then shutdown the computer install the device and hope it works

Question 5

Will this work with an XPC Shuttle 64 Bit Win 7 system?

Accepted Answer

Works great with xp and vista .. but not too good with win 7 32 / 64 bit software ... i have seen some work arounds for this issue on the net .. but !!! expect drop outs corrupted data

Rock solid on XP and Vista ... 7 is a whole new ball of wax

Question 6

Does anyone have this working with Linux Ubuntu 12.04? If so, was it easy to setup, or were there several command line hoops to jump through?

Accepted Answer

I have it working on Ubuntu 12.04, but only on G and not N. Install Jockey and you should be good to go.
