    I just got my m1330 with a Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card, everything seemed to be going smooth, but then I noticed I was getting internet hiccups... alot. I'd be downloading a file and find that speeds would quickly fluctuate from 4MB/s to 10KB/s, and then go back up to 4MB/s. I haven't experienced this problem with any other of my computers on the same router either. Is this a problem with my wireless card or some kinda driver issue?

    First, I think it would be better to have this question posted in the Network Forum... You have a better chance of getting solutions there....

    Anyways, to give you a quick tip, have you tried updating the driver to the latest available?? There is a new one from Intel if you would like to try...

    Also, it would be good to know if you are using more than 1 wireless connection manager? Intel has its own, i disabled mine and am using network magic. dont know, just thought id throw that in there :p
