    Can someone please explain to me what the difference in Wireless Network Cards are? Is Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Mini-card or Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card better and why? :confused:

    Thanks in advance for any help I get :D

    Have you read any of the posts on the Dell board and this board, regarding the draft N cards? Also, I see you posted this question in another thread, which isn't at all related to a wireless network question. Instead of posting in an existing thread about a different concern, you should ask a new question, as you did here.

    Two known issues with the DELL card while in a system with XP, poor coverage and difficulty to come out of sleep mode, Intel in the other hands has a strong coverage and very little effect as the PC is coming out of sleep (small delay of 2-5secs).
