hi,
My laptop bit the dust so am looking at replacements.
The one I'm thinking of getting has an unsupported
broadcom wireless device. It appears that I am able
to add a mini-pci card to replace what is already in
the laptop (correct me if i'm wrong its been a while
since I bought a laptop).
I am almost always on a 'b' network so would like to
ask the list for recommendations on the most likely
to work out of the box / least problematic replacement
card (or the chipset). Normally I buy from Newegg and
only see 5 choices there from novatech, msi, intel and
asus but of course would buy from whereever if those are
no good.
TIA for your help in limiting my pain :)
I use a Netgate mini-pci (2511 MP) in my Soekris and also Netgate
PCMCIA card (2511CD PLUS EXT2) in a laptop. Both are 802.11b and
both work wonderfully. More costly than the ones at newegg but
they "just work". See http://www.netgate.com/
