text: laptop internal wireless adpater: intel pro/2200 or broadcom 54g 802.11b/g? i would like to order a new hp laptop, please tell me that i should go with intel pro 2200bg or broadcom 54g(tm) 802.11b/g wlan w/ 125hsm/speedbooster for the internal wireless adapter? is the broadcom's one better and longer range? thanks very much! to tell you the truth, it doesn't matter, as long as the chip supports 802.11g.  all those nifty features tend to not be cross-compatible with other companies, and in these cases you get not advantage over the other.  i personally recommend anything that has known techniques to increase the signal strength, so that you can transmit and/or receive the wifi signal much clearer.
