I guess that is a good point :)

I am sitting now on my laptop and on my left, there are two little guys
sitting beside me :D

One is Thinkpad T400 (I'm dying to have one of those Thinkpads - these are
rock solid) with Centrino 2  @2.53GHz with 3GB RAM - Intel Graphics -
Wireless driver = iwlwifi - the father (my neighbour) is going to use this
one

The other one is Dell Studio 1535 with Core 2 Duo @2 GHz with 3GB RAM and
ATI Radeon and the bad news is, the Wireless Driver is Broadcom (driver
b43) :/ - the son of my neighbour is supposed to use this one

Not sure if these information could make any difference at all?

Thank you!
