    Hi, I just ran into one more thing... I have a linksys WRT54G wireless/wired combo router and I pulled out the setup disc for the wireless, and it says 802.11g 2.4 ghz. The laptop being purchased says Intel 4965a/g/n will this setup connect to wireless or would the laptop also have to have the 802.11g wireless. Thanks again!!

    Just make sure that you set up the card properly, the wireless mode should be a/g/n.

    On the laptop itself, just right click on the network icon, select network and sharing center, select view status, properties, configure, advanced, wireless mode, selct a/b/g.
