Based on performance, range, power output, and power consumption, which wireless card for a notebook is better: the Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Internal Wireless (802.11 b/g, 54Mbps) or the Dell Wireless 1450 Internal Wireless (802.11a/b/g, 54Mbps)?

Thank you very much,
Pudgy

The Dell wireless adaptor is sort of the same situation as their server raid controllers. They started out decent and were made to be dell proprietary causing them to suck. One of my friends has a dell laptop with the integrated dell wireless card and it has problems connecting and staying connected to anything.
