Recommendation needed mini-pci wifi card
Hello everyone! I'm a little confused going through the HCL so I hope you can help me out. I've got an Intel PRO Wireless 3945 ABG network adapter (mini-pci). As far as I am aware there are no drivers for that yet. What other mini-pci cards can you recommend? I need one which would work on Linux (Ubuntu), Windows and OSx86. I know I can use a wifi dongle but I prefer exchanging my old card anyway since I am having issues with it. Thx in advance! ABH

3945 should be working fine, there are drivers for this particular wi-fi card. I have intel 5100agn which is not supported so i would have to replace it (but still waiting for ati mobility hd 34xx support). As there is driver for your chip you should try it out. Regards!

one more question: Is there a difference between the The Dell 1490 Mini PCI Express and the Dell 1390 Mini PCI express? Do both work?
