A REPORT IN Taiwanese magazine Digitimes said Intel has finished the spec for its future 802.11b modules and released it to manufacturing by D-Link and GemTek.
Last time we talked to Intel about 802.11g Centrino wireless kits, it seemed confident it could release them before the end of the year.
But Digitimes says it will produce volume shipments in the first quarter of next year. That is also the time when Intel is slated to introduce its future "Dothan" version of the Pentium M, which is produced on a 90 nanometer process and has 2MB of cache on the die. Last month, Intel said it would start producing 802.11a as well as 802.11b modules for notebooks using the triple Centrino bundle.

I administer a large wireless network of cisco devices, and I have to say, D-Link wireless cards are the worst cards out there. We have more problems with those cards than you could imagine. I can't believe they would manufacture the new Centrino cards; that only spells trouble for us. Anyone else with any D-Link wireless experience?
Only good ones, I'm afraid. I've used 5 D-Link wireless cards(all inn the "G" standard), and they have worked flawlessly. I had nothing but trouble with a SMC router, so I replaced it with a D-link one, and it works like it is supposed to.¨
But if D-link stinks, what should I buy then?
On these new 802.11g functions - I'm looking forward to them coming out with the new Dothan chips, I'd love an upgrade, not that my current Laptop is slow or doesn't feature as mentioned above 802.11g - it'd just be nice
