The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

No, I don't think that the wireless network card comes with the barebone. You need to purchase it separately. However, if you buy a retail pentium M (box version), sometimes it comes with a wireless card. Check with the store before you actually buy it. I bought the box version including the 2915 A/B/G card.
The wifi card you should buy for it is the 2915. We dont even offer the 2200 anymore. They do not come with retail boxed cpu's. They never did. The barebone does not include the wifi card. ocn is a horrible liar but the boxes do come with an extra space for something. Something intel neglected to include. :base:
I am pretty sure the problems are mostly with peoples routers and home networks. Out of the thousands 2200 we have sold when they were current i ve seen about 2 that had to be swapped. They are very relaible. I recommend you use netgear router. I use em all around, at home at work and any place we do a small network in. So far so good. 2915 is the same relaibility.
No, I am not a liar. I did bought a pentium sonoma 760, and it came with an Intel 2915 ABG. If you want, I can take a picture. I said "sometimes", but not always. You are the reseller, but you didn't know that Intel Pentium M sonoma, retail box comes with an Intel 2915ABG. That's REALLY BAD!
