I'm going to replace the existing mini-PCI card in my laptop. The question
is, which new card to get?
The senao, ubiquiti sr2 and wistron cm9 cards all look like contenders.
Which ones perform the best all-round under XP? With netstumber? Under
linux? With Kismet?
I'd be using this just as a workstation, not as a router, access point or
anything else. I'd be starting with just the built-in antennae that have
U.fl cables but will eventually hack the case to allow for attaching an
external antenna. I see that at least one card has a single U.fl connector
so that'd hasten my addition of the external connector.
So whose card should I consider? Which ones are a pain to use and should be
avoided?
My personal favorite is the Atheros AR5004G -- solid, stable, low power
consumption, and excellent range. Another good choice is the Intel
2200BG.
