    The Intel due to good driver support, as well as my 6300 in my Alienware has never had a dropped connection.

    This is a pretty good review. You don't have the Killer on your list but if you look at performance, you will see that the 6300 outperforms the others in almost every way. Honestly, the Intel is in its own class. You would be better off comparing the 2230 with those two.

    one thing though, the Intel you linked is for Lenovo notebooks, not sure it's gonna work in a non Lenovo one. I'd look for the vanilla version.

    Lenovo branded WLAN cards will work in a non-Lenovo, it will not work the other way around and for HP, both companies whitelist WLAN cards in the BIOS.
