	Interesting, thank you! It's not an issue for me. I got it specifically
because it has the gigabit switch and 802,11n. Turns out my Intel 4965
AGN wireless card is less than spectacular. It's performance was far
less than the 3965 ABG card in another notebook. Particularly was having
to stand literally next to the AP to get a connection. So for my use I
overbought, again.
