My new laptop card wireless card finally arrived today. It’s a MiniPCI Intel PRO Wireless 2915ABG. Nothing fancy, but at least it has native Linux drivers so I knew there is a big chance I won’t be having much problems getting it to run. I managed to connect to my access point after some minutes of battling the software (you know, Mandriva and stuff…). It turns out my laptop has a pretty good antenna, the signal is much stronger than with the cardbus cards I tried earlier.

Finally I can return Jacek’s D-Link I borrowed some time ago
