    i just ordered my M6Ne from a local pc shop, but everything was
    done on the phone like the components i wanted... and later i went
    to the store to do the rest face2face... but my concern is that
    i want to know how i can know for sure i got the 2200BG adapter
    instead of the 2100 adapter? is one integrated or its just one
    whole pcb? how can i tell if it is 2200BG without taking the laptop
    apart? am i able to tell when i boot it up without OS?...

    thanks for your help... i'm very concerned...

    Try not to stress to much, you will be able to tell as soon as you get your pc up and running. There are several ways to check, the easiest is to hover your mouse over the intel proset icon in the system tray, that should say there if you have a 2100(b only) or 2200 (b/g). If you have a 2100, then take it back to the shop you got it from and ask them to switch the internal mini-pci wireless card to the 2200. Alternately you can buy one of these yourself and install it, but this requires taking your lappie apart and may void your warranty.
    a :)
    ps I'm betting you have a 2200 by the way.
