I have a USB 2.0 WLAN Card (ASUS WL-167G), but my mb just support USB 1.1 only, and I am using XP system. Can I use this card in my computer? Sometimes it can (but slow), but most of time can't. Is this because of different USB standard? Beause, if I use USB 1.1 WLAN card, it's no problem at all.

USB 2.0 uses language you need to understand.

You get USB 2.0 Compatible (which really means nothing)
and USB 2.0 Capable, meaning it'll do USB 2.0.

Your answer is yes. It will work but at USB 1.1 speeds since that's the speed of your USB on the motherboard.
