Out-of-the-box working WIFI module?

[larsras]

Hi

I have 2 laptops i'm trying to set up with SL and/or Lion. Both have Intel Wifi modules, and as far as i can see this is a no go.

Any suggestions for "n" mini-PCI modules to buy that is working perfectly?

The boardcom wifi modules seems to be most stable. so if you are replacing it, i would go for the boardcom one, also check out the last link to the airport native wifi, the 1st boardcom one only support b/g whilst the latter link supports b/g/n technology.
