    Does anyone know if the new s7020 will come with an option for Atheros? If not, how long did it take for the s7010D to come out after the s7010 came out? Thanks,

    It should be available on day 1, that's how it's been for the other models for the most part.

    Advantage: It's not an Intel wireless card

    read: Wireless issues with Intel/Pro Wireless 2200BG

    Apparently the S7020 comes with the new intel wireless card (2915abg), so it also can now do a,b,and g. Probably will still choose the atheros.
