    I'm considering a purchase of the UL30A-A2. Not being knowlegable at all when it comes to internal computer terms, I need some help.

    I've read where this model had some issues with the wireless card. I've read all 22 pages of the UL30a Wireless Issues Poll on this forum.

    I've been to the Asus website and it shows that the "Fax/Modem/LAN/WLAN" is an Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 5100 ABGN Atheros AR8132M 10/100Mb.

    Is the one on the Asus web site the same the one as ID'd as having problems or is this a better one?

    Thanks for your help.. as soon as this is answered I'll decide whether to buy.
