If you are one of the unfortunate ones with a broadcom wireless card, ie the terrible Dell 1390, on your Ubuntu laptop then this is a must have. It's fairly easy to replace the cards, look at the laptop service manual.

Ubuntu recognizes the card instantly. Everything works, including WPA.

I bought this card to replace a Ralink card inside my new notebook. I needed Linux compatibility and the Intel 3945abg offers great Linux compatibility. This card works great in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Ubunutu 6.10. The signal that I get using this card is fantastic -- much better than most of the PCMCIA cards that I have used in the past. The card is really easy to install (snap in, screw down two screws, and connect two antenna pigtails).

5.0 out of 5 stars Dell e1505, May 13, 2007

I replaced my BCM4311 (Broadcom/Dell 1390)with the Intel 3945 in my Dell e1505. My main motivation was having a more Linux-friendly wireless card (coming from the BCM4311, it can't get much worse). After reinstalling Ubuntu (Feisty Fawn), wireless worked great out of the box...no need to download any drivers. After going to the Dell Support page and getting the Intel drivers, things were working great in Windows too.

I can't really tell any signal differences...both seemed to work fine for me. So far, this has been the best $30 I've spent on my laptop. Fully recommended...especially for the Linux enthusiast.
