    I'm pretty sure this card is getting me killed all over the place. Does anyone else have a problem with random huge ping spikes and server disconnects? I've tried a few settings on my router and in the Intel driver but it persists. Dont know if this is good bad or normal but in the intel wifi advanced statistics im getting 18% transmit errors. Most of the time its in the 24 or 36Mbps 50%.

    couple things i noticed. Aluminum laptop housing seriously hindering wifi distance. tried a couple routers 54g. signal falls way off on other side of my small house. I could get it clear to the garage on my G73. Currently trying the registry edit fix found on another forum.
