This review is from: Intel 4965AGN_MM1 Wireless WiFi Link Mini PCIe Adapter (Electronics)

Purchased this to replace a crappy wireless card in my Gateway laptop.

The card just plain didn't work for me under Linux, despite intel providing a driver for it. After about 30 seconds of usage, the connection would fail and the driver would spew errors to dmesg. Only restarting would restore the card to a working state (for another 30 seconds).

The card works fine under Windows Vista, until the laptop goes sleep. After waking up, it seems to have disappeared -- it is no longer listed under network connections or in the device manager. Again, only a reboot will resolve this issue.

On the plus side, when it was working it was pretty fast.

I didn't bother returning it since it was only 10 bucks, but next time I'll do a little better research before I buy something like this.

This review is from: Intel 4965AGN_MM1 Wireless WiFi Link Mini PCIe Adapter (Electronics)

I purchased the Intel 4965AGN to replace my slow Dell Wireless 1505. I now get 270 to 300 Mbps instead of a max of 54 Mbps from the Dell 1505. The Cisco Linksys E3000 Wireless-N router works well with the Intel 4965AGN. The only issue I had was how to wire the Intel 4965AGN. The 4965AGN has connections for 3 wires (numbered 1, 3, and 2). The 1505 had 2 connections labeled white and black. My research on the Web had people recommending many different wiring combinations. I decided to wire the most recommended configuration, which is:

White on 1

Gray on 3

Black on 2

Be careful about installing the latest driver from Dell. You should kill the Windows new hardware found window before you install the driver.
