    New Dell 1520 have internal Wi-Fi (802.11g, a/g, or draft n),
    So it means that we cannot have 802.11g a/g/and N all in one.
    Thanks

    Doesn't the N card work on networks that are 'a' or 'g' also??
    Or does the N card only work with N routers??? That wouldn't make much sense since most people and places have g routers, not N yet.

    The intel card is b/g/n, I believe. Presumably, the Dell N card is the same. I don't know if either supports A.

    Draft N Is backwards compatible with 802.11 b and 802.11g but I am not sure about 802.11a
