Hi.
I'm thinking to buy TOSHIBA Satellite A305-S6864 NoteBook Intel Core 2 Duo P8400(2.26GHz) 15.4" Wide XGA 4GB Memory DDR2 800 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 Lappy and saw review about
Atheros 802.11b/g/n wireless-LAN problem.
"Cons: Atheros wireless is problematic. Turning on the switch before or after boot up and it shows as disabled. Reboot usually resolves this but it's a PITA. It also would not start from sleep without a reboot. Fixed that by setting OS to keep WLAN live when sleeping. "
Do you think is better avoid Atheros and find INTEL based one or it was just configuration problem and TOSHIBA Lappys are just fine ?

You might want to ask this in the Toshiba board. Plenty of other people have Atheros wifi cards in their laptops (me included) and have no issues. If there are issues, other Toshiba owners would be better suited to answer your question.
