To even have a chance at answering your "why" question, I would need a transcript of the entire telephone conversation you had with Gateway.
Either the F5D7011 or F5D7010 should work just fine in most any laptop. Whether you would get any benefit of paying more for the F5D7011 is dependent on your wireless router make/model.

I do not know enough to know the difference. -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Carl Houseman Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 10:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Advice on Cardbus Notebook adapter The equivalent Belkin card is F5D7010. The equivalent Netgear card is WG511. Carl -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Poer Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 10:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Advice on Cardbus Notebook adapter I need a PCMCIA wireless network adapter for my Gateway Solo 5300. This is new to me, so can anyone tell me if the F5D7011 Belkin is an equilvalent to the Linksys WPC54G? I just need to price out some equals and I'm not really sure what parameters I need to be looking for. Probably a simple thing for most, but I gotta ask! I've got a Verizon supplied wireless router at home I need to hook up with for DSL.
