Then you can use it. Will it work with the supplied wifi card? I haven't the foggiest clue mostly as I don't know what card it has. To get a sensible answer on a question like that, you MUST supply the entire spec of all the hardware you intend to buy. Only then can people offer an opinion on how good or otherwise the drivers are. The way you composed that mail, everyone else will need to do the research on the hardware for you. Most of us would rather you did that bit yourself. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
