HI Pat!
Yes, that is the card that I bought. It is a quality piece of hardware. I am
a PC techie and I have attempted to use many different cards from a variety
of sources. The problem can be, and I am sure many on this list can attest,
that often manufacturers can switch chipsets on various cards without
warning, thereby making a card that previously worked on a Mac, no longer
functional. It is well neigh impossible to always be on top of this issue.
This applies to many peripherals that are PC-centric. One revision will work
and yet another will not and often even the manufacturers are not aware of
it. I can give you many examples of where this has taken place.
That is why I recommend the Belkin. It might not save you money, as it can
be a bit more expensive, but it could save you a lot of time and mind
bending headaches. 
It has always gone to sleep when I wanted it to.
Best of luck,
Bill
