Intel 2915 802.11 a/b/g wireless card or Intel 2200 Pro/ Wireless Connection Adapter b/g? Any big difference?

I presume you will set up your own wireless network at home, right ?
This is then really a question of "Do I need 'a' ?" The answer to that is unless you live in a really dense apartment complex where there are many overlapping b/g signals, you don't need "a".
"a" is also used in some business environments, but if presume this does not apply to you--if it were so, I am sure your business would have informed you. -
well another thing you might want to think about is all the problems that some people have with the intel 2200. not sure if its the same with the 2915.

Okay, I've also be unable to find out whether the 2915 was actually integrated in with the board like the 2200 or a card you have to plug in or an external dongle...does anyone here know?

Hi
Mine 2915 is mini pci card that you plug in the slot on the mainboard.
I used to have 2200 on my ASUS for years with no problems whatsoever. I now have new notebook and have problems with my 2915 like people are having with 2200. My opinion is that intel cards generally are more dependant on some combination of hardware/software/driver/power management or whatever. I decided to buy an atheros solution and I am searching for the best solution available. I think that most of the problems can be solved through evolution of intel driver/client, but it just didn't work for me.(yet)
Wireless option?
