TW,

I have worked with netgear cards enough to know that the drivers provided are complete and utter shite. You have to download new ones.

Dell never ships Netgear cards as an OEM option, hence they would not be available with the service tag. They ship their own brand (Dell TrueMobile) or Intel wireless cards as the OEM option when you buy a PC from them.

Dell also ships several variations of the base chipset model. They have a habit of using reference Intel designs with slight changes. However, it is always important to have the latest BIOS for them due to them making a lot of changes. The Intel ones also use Intel's chipset drivers.
