    have Eee PC 1005HAB got in 2010 and use it as a mainly torrent box.
    since first use i think the wifi card area was always hot, after a few months the wifi card dropped connections after 1 min, and then didn't connect at all.

    after a weeks of confusion and watching youtube videos i decided to buy a card off Ebay. The are a lot of options but decided on a Intel 5100 out of price and fear of bad product.the original atheros card used the netbook cost 1/3 the price of the cheapest intel card( no wonder it failed)

    Intel 5100 works well and the netbook is ice cool.
