Have you seen that channels 8 and 12 were a and g, and the rest just g?
To shoot in the dark: maybe your lapper has option in bios to allow/refuse
something for wifi card, ready for native intel one. Or is wifi router
just misconfigured for your needs. I have wrt54gl and no a to try with.
Would be nice to post the results, when you find out.
