You might have trouble using other supported chipsets which are connected to the USB port. Also note that the wireless card in the laptop can be replaced for about ten bucks. It's typically the easiest thing to replace in a laptop. If you decide to swap out your wifi card I'd recommend Atheros. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA
