    Why do you want an updated wireless driver? Is there something wrong with what you are using now?

    Upgrade the card to the intel 6200, its much better than the garbage card that came with your computer.

    Very easy, remove the bottom cover, unscrew the card, remove antennas, put in new card, attach antenna, install drivers. takes like 20 minutes.. my signal strength has doubled.
