I think the only way to be sure, is to find out the chipset that the

Thanx. I have emailed the manufacturer and asked.
Waiting for a reply.

Be aware that even if there is a reference of the chipset on the item's
packaging, there is a (small?) possibility the manufacturer might have
changed the hardware, without taking care to update the reference
accordingly.

Yes - I have seen other blogs stating as much about wifi cards.
But I hope thatthe individual who I am in contact with is a little
more knowledgeable than that :)
