In the past, I had problems with Intel wifi chip sets.  So, I just
avoided them.  Maybe, Intel's support is better today.  I don't
know.  I've never bothered to check.

The reason I generally avoid ALL Intel products is a number of
years ago, Intel flat out lied to me.  And knew it.  And I caught them
at it. When I called them on it, they tried to lie their way
out of the first lie. With me, it only takes one to loose me as a
customer.
