Re: Centrino sucks?
Without knowing more, I'd say your housemate either:
- hasn't a clue what he's talking about
- has WPA-PSK set up and your mini-PCI card won't do this
- has 256-bit WEP set up and your mini-PCU card won't do this
IMO it's the first one (call me cynical) 
If your access point is secure then he'd have to do certain things to let your lappy connect (add MAC filter, share keys for encryption). If there is no security in place, the bandwidth can be leeched whether you connect or not! |

| we are using D-link DSL-604+ ,which supports up to 256 bit wep setup.
I don't know whether my computer supports that high encryption. I only know my laptop using 802.11g .how can i find out it? and how can i do if my laptop does not support it?
Thank you guys
you are very helpful. |

| Note that No WEP is really secure, be it 64, 128 or 256 bit WEP it's got a fundemental flaw which allows it to be cracked relatively easily and the extra keyspace provided by 256 bit WEP doesn't mean much in reality due to the flaw in WEP
