    Good day people,

    I have a VERY short question, But it is VERY hard to find an answer on the net! :eek:

    I want a WLAN card Mini PCI Express for the 7520G-604G25Bi.

    Which card is 100% compatible?
    It has to be a card with N-Draft.

    FYI: Laptop has AMD Turion Processors.

    Thanks very much for replys :)

    I think that you should get Atheros, since as far as I know Intel ones are not compatible.

    Sorry mate, I'm not that into Atheros cards, and I don't want to misled you, but I think that as far as it's mini PCI-Express and Draft N, it should work for you. Don't forget that you'll need 3rd antenna if you want full MIMO support, and in order to install it, you'll have to disassemble your display :)

    Broadcom 4321 - N @ 2.4 ang 5GHz - 2 antenna - typically 270Mbps

    Atheros (AR5008) - N @ 2.4 and 5Ghz - 3 antenna, sometimes 2. - tested 170Mbps to 150Mbps

    ralink 2920 based - typically hard to find, usually usb based. tested 150Mbps
