I'm looking at a Toshiba laptop, model L35-S2171, and the specs say it uses an Atheros wireless card. Does this mean I need to use a particular type or brand of wireless router at the other end, or will pretty much anything do?
I assume this isn't Super or Turbo G, or it would have said so. Does that sound right?
Peabody hath wroth:
No such model laptop. Wanna try again, this time adding whether it's a Satellite, Satellite Pro, Portege, Qosmio, Tecra, etc.
Jeff Liebermann hath wroth:
Oops. It exists, just too new to appear on the Toshiblah support site. Cheap too:
I can't find any details on this laptop or its wireless card. It's a fair assumption that it will work with any 802.11g wireless access point or wireless router. I don't think they would include a Turbo-G or other 108Mbit/sec proprietary card at that price. If paranoid, see Wi-Fi certified product list at:

Anything Wi-Fi certified will do.
It sounds right, but really doesn't matter, since the proprietary crap will fall back to Wi-Fi standard operation.
