Hi...
I want to settle this score once and for all. I just got a Toshiba NB205 and
it came with an Atheros wireless card. Well, it refuses to connect to any
wireless network I throw at it and it doesn't support Ad-hoc mode (a much
needed piece of support as I want to tether my Palm Pre, which broadcasts an
Ad-hoc WiFi network. Anyway, I am out shopping for a new half-length mini PCIe
internal wireless adapter (preferrably 802.11n) and am wondering what the best
make and model to get? Broadcom? Intel? Ralink? If anyone can give me advice
here, that would be fantastic!
I went through almost the same situation your going through now. Right
no, the only 802.11n supported wireless Mini PCI Card is the Intel 5300
or 5100, which uses the iwh drive. Unfortunately there are connection
problems and dropout problems associated with these cards, supposedly
the problem is being worked on. Also the Intel 4965, 5100 and 5300 use
three antennas. So for my laptop I stuck with trying to find Minipcis
with three antennas, I don't know any other manufactures with 3 antennas.
Maybe not a solution, but some food for thought.
