Thanks for your answer. It would be cool to have an AR5008, but it won't fit in my laptop. BCM4312 is a half mini-pci. From what I have seen out there, Intel 1000, Atheros AR5B95 AR9285, Intel 6200, Broadcom BCM94322HM8L 4322, Intel 6250 622ANXHMW, Intel 6300 633ANHMW (the latter two are an expensive couple).

Are these any good? If not, what would you recommend in that size?

Thanks!
