My laptop has a Broadcom BCM4306 chipset. Since Fedora does not support it natively, it is a pain every time I want to upgrade Fedora. And even after jumping through all the hoops to install the firmware, sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. Consequently, I wind up being able to use about every other version of Fedora. Sometime back on the list I saw a suggestion to change the mini PCI card to a chipset that does work natively with Fedora and Network Manager. I'm ready to make the swap. Looking on eBay, I see these cards and/or these chipsets available at the moment: Broadcom BCM4318 Intel Eifi 5300 Realtek RTL8185L Intel Pro 2915 Athernos AR5213A Athernos AR5008 I seem to remember that Athernos is a good choice. Is that correct? Is one better than the other? If not, are any of these good choices? Anyone know of a source of mini PCI cards other than eBay? Newegg does seem to carry them. Are there differences in mini PCI cards? I did see there were half-hight cards. I have an off brand laptop, an eMachines M6805. Would I expect a card pulled from a Gateway or a Dell to work in my laptop? Thanks!
