    Wow, you know more than an encyclopedia! :p
    Thank you very much.

    Out of curiosity, what's the difference between the 6200 and the 6205? They appear to be identical.

    Apparently the last number is just a revision. Looking at certificates issued by Wi-Fi alliance 6205 has been tested with Wi-Fi protected setup while 6200 hasn't and 6205 has been certified for 40MHz channels on 2.4GHz band (with coexistence) while 6200 has only been tested with 20MHz channels.
    That said - it's not unlikely that both can do exactly the same things and what 6205 has been certified for and 6200 has not is only a function of what's changed in certification procedure in that time. The last number indicates only minor changes sometimes internal ones that are kind of hard to notice for most users.

    Thank you again.
    Let's wait for the card and I'll let you know about my ancient Vaio and 5GHz.
