[Juan <yihuan.huang@xxxxxxxxx>]

I realized that I probably picked the wrong card when ordering my laptop.
I was offered either the Intel Wireless N 7260 or this Realtek card, same price
I am not so keen with this realtek card anyway because even in windows 7 my signal only shows 3 bars sometimes as my previous laptop it's 5 bar all-the-time
Instead of buying a usb dongle and wait for the driver I was considering to just buy the intel card for $20 and swap it in
Some of you guys may consider this option as the other card is certified by ubuntu and I assume it has the driver built-in? Can anyone with the T440/540 with the Intel card confirm that?

Thanks,
Juan
