    im looking at buying the hp dv5-1251nr from staples and it has this wireless card
    Intel® WiFi Link 5100AGN

    now my stupid question is - will this also work with wireless B i was told its backwards compatible so it will connect with wireless B as well but i want to make sure before i spend money

    plus ill be in alot of starbucks and borders and barnes and noble which i believe all use Wireless B
