    Just a reminder, my Bigfoot Killer Wireless-N 1103 is better that yours!

    Why you may ask? Because Aikimox will ship mine first :p

    I might not be the first to receive it but my e-peen+1 status is better than yours! Muahahahahaa

    I don't suppose if anyone knows if this card is supported in Linux as yet? I tried to Google this information but did not have much success.

    Having a look at the website it doesn't look like there are custom drivers for Linux but that doesn't mean that the chipset isn't supported in Linux.

    I know cross posting is generally frowned upon, and I wrote this in a different thread, however it might be more useful here since this seems to be a broader discussion of the Killer N cards.

    For those of you buying the 1102 from somewhere besides Dell to upgrade your machines, take a read:


    Just noticed something when looking at the picture of the 1102 (2 antenna version) since I cant seem to find the 1103 for sale anywhere.

    If you look at the picture here:
    BIGFOOT NETWORKS Killer Wireless-N 1102 Wireless Card, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, Internal PCIe Half Mini Card : AVADirect Custom Computer Component

    You'll notice the spot on the board is there for the third antenna, but the connector is not.

    I did some searching on digikey, and if someone is very handy with a soldering iron, you could probably plop the third antenna header on there and make it the same device as the 1103. Or if not the same device, possibly increase the range and reception of the 1102. Especially considering our M17/18x laptops have 3 antenna wires.

    Here's the connectors on digikey that I believe are correct:
    (couple of different options)
    Digi-Key - A36237CT-ND (Manufacturer - 1566230-1)
    Digi-Key - J983CT-ND (Manufacturer - 128-0711-201)

    Just looked at my bigfoot 1102 card and it does infact have a extra open spot for the 3rd antenna. You cant see the backside of the card as its covered by a large flat metal panel, so I cant confirm if there is something there for the antenna to even hook up to.

    I will order up a antenna plug and get back to you all about it.

    Here's an update:

    The cards will be shipped to Fortnax during this week. According to Bigfoot, they are at the final stage of QA and we are at the head of the list of the business partners (at least with our first batch that was preordered a month ago).

    We upgraded the shipping method, so it should be overnight from Bigfoot to Fortnax. If Bigfoot ship it by Wednesday, some will receive theirs by Friday/Saturday. That's the best case.

    Considering that my m14x was purchased before the Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 was available, would it be a problem when using the drivers from Dell?

    Shouldn't be a problem. The card is compatible with all AW and Clevo notebooks, we even installed it in a few Elitebooks and Precisions. Worst case, you can always use the reference drivers.

    In the past 24 hours I alone had to prepare over 100 packages, lol. That's insane. Those ordered first, will be receiving their tracking notifications shortly. Keep in mind though, it's a long weekend in Canada, so there might be some delays till Tuesday.

    Anyway, the first batch has left our dept..

    @Mkelliny,

    Yours was picked up by UPS a few hours ago ;)
