what is hsdpa and what are the benefits of it…when i was installing my intel 5300, i saw that it had a little hsdpa slot…i’ve added a picture…
HSDPA is mobile broadband, if you have HSDPA and the necessary data plan with a mobile phone network you can access the internet anywhere you can get a mobile phone signal.
In your photo the mini-PCIe socket where you can install a HSDPA card is (as with most netbooks) missing.
thank you, perfect answer…i see you have an intel 5300 card in your laptop, have you been having any drop connection issues?
The only time I’ve had issues was at university where the wireless network was overloaded, though this occurred with all three cards I use in my NC10 (origional Atheros, Intel 5300 and a Broadcom card) and other people often had similar problems.
On other networks I’ve not had any problems.

[/quote1252325755]i had loads of issues after installing it in my nc10, since installing win7 and not using the intel connection software seems to have cured all my issues.
Some boards come with the HSDPA modem installed, some come with no modem but the socket intact and others some like yours (like mine 🙁 )
I have the wifi card from my EEEPC 900 in my NC10 just because I find it’s wireless signal far superior to any other card I’ve used.
I do also have an external adapter with a 12″ 9dbi antenna but that’s just for fun 😛kaotix (and others on this thread), you’ve touched on a rather vexing problem. Wireless cards “playing nice” with routers. If one reviews some of the posts that are appearing, it would appear that there’s some real problems with reliable wireless connections. What’s apparent is that what works in one case absolutely won’t work in another.
Basically, what I’m alluding to is that you could line up 10 machines with a particular wireless card, connect to 10 different WiFi access points using the same router and get results ranging from excellent to abysmal!!
Darn, isn’t tech fun!dockehr
kaotix – what card is this from the eeepc as I’ve fitted a 5300 and expected it to better than the original 🙁
Hey people.
I found something very interesting!
If you have some soldering skills, you could make this work!
It says it’s for an Aspire One, but i think this could also work for a NC10 because it’s the same basicly!Good luck.

[/quote1252591409]Not sure of the model number but I’ll find out tonight. It still reports as the AR5700EG or something in windows even though it isn’t. That was the original card in the NC10. Linux reports it as an AR2424 which again, it isn’t lol.
I was getting a good signal from the standard NC10 card but at the time I had some linux wireless tools that wouldn’t work with the card. So I swapped it for the card from the EPC900 as I knew they worked with that. All in all I was shocked to see the signal boosted a lot more than the default card.
That link to the eBay auction is interesting. I may try this as it’s not too expensive, saying that though. Many component manufacturers will actually send you samples free of charge to a business address. One company my friend uses will send you free samples. I’ll find the company name and post a link to the mini PCI-e adapter on there. It comes with a full schematic and pin-out for it too.
Obviously you can only get 1 as a free sample. 😛
