    I'm considering changing wifi-card to an Intel 4965AGN. I read on another forum where a guy did that (and installed an extra antenna of course, 3 antennas are needed for 802.11N). But he used the A150-version with windows. I have an A110 and I will stick with linpus linux.
    I want the network manager to behave as it does now, it should be as easy to connect to a wireless network as it's now.

    The iwlwifi driver claims to support 4965AGN http://intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi
    The networkmanager software doesn't mention it but at the top is says "Network Manager will work with any card that properly supports wireless extensions".

    Seeing that 3945 works (albeit with the ipw3945 driver) I hope that iwlwifi with 4965 will work.

    I'm wondering if someone has really tried this change (on some linux distro, preferable linpus) and seen that it works.

    I will probably need to update the networkmanager anyway as I need support for WPA2 enterprise (I've seen other threads about it).
