Mini PCI Adapter: Cisco vs Intel

[Steve007]

Can someone tell me which Mini PCI Adapter is superior from the two below:

Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI (802.11b)
Cisco Aironet Wireless Mini PCI (802.11b)

The reason I ask is that I need to install one of the two that I have going spare in a friends T40 and I'm not sure which is considered the best adapter.

Thanks.

Cisco AIronet is better quality/drivers.

However, some Cisco cards have issues with running in promiscuous mode, if that is a concern, if not, don't worry about it and go for the Cisco, it will have a better signal ability over the Intel pro, which I really don't like as a wireless cards (but do love the intel pro PCI network cards).

FWIW, I had some wireless connections problems on my T40 2374 with the Intel 2100 3B after installing Win XP SP2. Long story short, I've upgraded the Intel's driver (v1.2.3.14, I think), and IBM Access Connections, and I'm staying as far away as possible from SP2 (running Firefox to minimize IE security problems), and everything's fine. But my experience suggests it might be better to go with the Cisco card.
