Get this if you use Linux and mini-PCI, January 7, 2008

Seth M. "ubuntu geek" (Bronx, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11b/g Wireless Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

After getting fed up with buggy ndiswrapper and the horribly low-performing bcm43xx driver with bcm43xx-fwcutter, I bought this to replace the stock Broadcom 4306 that came in this Latitude D600. It is ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! The card is physically smaller than the old Broadcom. Install took *maybe* 3 minutes, if that long and it was my first time ever replacing mini-pci. Works right out of the box with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) without editing /etc/modules or /etc/modprobe.d/*. Driver loaded "automagically" and works flawlessly with GNOME NetworkManager.

Where the other card gave me 65-70% connectivity, this card gives a consistent 85% with greater throughput. Good riddance Broadcom! Bye-bye ndiswrapper! So long bcm43xx-fwcutter! If you dont know what those last few terms mean (and trust me you really dont want to know them!) but you want to run Linux happily on a Latitude D600 or similar mini-pci based laptop, GET THIS CARD!!!

Upgrading that 3 year old laptop a winner !, January 11, 2007

Gary W. Burford "Skull" (Central Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11b/g Wireless Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

My 3 year old gateway laptop with Intel Centrino Mobile technology works great but I was getting frustrated trying to connect to WIFI with only a B internal card. Since the laptop was out of warranty anyway, ignoring the do not open sticker on the wireless cover on the bottem of the laptop was no problem, and installation was a breeze, just uninstall the old drivers in the add/remove programs area of Windows XP, shut down,replace the card, then boot up and install the new drivers for the B/G card I had downloaded prior to this from Intel. Works like a charm without having to deal with an external card.

Wow! This couldn't have been any easier..., February 1, 2008

This review is from: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG 802.11b/g Wireless Network Adapter (Personal Computers)

This adapter installed in my Dell Latitude C510 in just a couple of minutes, and Ubuntu 7.10 configured it without a hitch. 1) Configuring wireless never seems to be easy on any OS (Mac excluded) 2) Linux is always a bear with wireless. If only everything was this simple!
