Ok, that's right. This is always the last option. I already had some success
with those tiny Edimax N150 dongles. But I was asking in the hope to find a
notebook with supported internal WLAN.

My company would then buy several of them.

Now I am interested in the model and manufacturer of your laptop (always
good to know which laptops don't whitelist) and the name of your
replacement card. :)

I wonder how such a practice can be legal. But I have seen that too, and you
never know before.

A list with manufacturers/laptops which don't whitelist would be nice.
