Hi, Ray... On 02/03/10 12:13 pm, Ray Davison thus wrote : Lewis G Rosenthal wrote: you could always pull the 5300 card and replace it with a 4965AGN or a 3945AGN. I have a 5100. There is not even a W2K driver for it; my laptop has W2K and WXP. There are two slots for "long and short" cards. The card was originally in the short slot. There is a button to toggle between WiFi, Blue tooth and both. Software selection worked but the switch did not until I moved the card to the long slot. Regarding 4965 cards, this is the best thing I found on line. http://www.buycheapr.com/us/result.jsp?q=4965+agn Suggestions? The 5000 series are supposed to address a number of the shortcomings of its predecessor, particularly, the stall problems. That said, you can't use what you can't drive, so my next choice would probably be the 4965AGN. There have been reports of issues with GenMAC, but all of the ones I've tried (maybe 6?) have worked rather well (though I have not tried any in an 802.11n environment). The 3945 is probably better supported by GenMAC, and I've had good results with these, as well. The last time I purchased a new one, I had to get a surplus unit someone had on hand, as my official Intel channel was dry (the 5000's are now the current shipping line). Of course, if you purchase one through Amazon, you could go through the Warpstock site, which sneds a small perk in Warpstock's direction. :-) Other than that, I don't have any particular recommendations.
