Although they work much better than 43224, especially with 48Mb/s and 54Mb/s and with higher MCS (especially with two streams), the 43224 seemed to be more stable. > > Best, > -Francesco > Followup: just tried to place the new WLAN card in my notebook; Lenovo doesn't like them if they're not whitelisted. I'll have to hack my bios before I send this card over. Yes, I tried blacklisting the proprietary wl on kernel 3.17 and rebooting. Messed a bit around, I could scan for networks, but wasn't able to connect to any of them.
