Which card did you bought?

There was a mention above about buying a Realtek card. I just want to mention that my experience with Realtek wireless chipsets has been nothing but hell.
My Thinkpad came with a Realtek that used the rtl8192ce module, and it was terrible. I recently was forced to try it again, and it had gotten better, but was still of pretty questionable quality.
The first time I replaced it I was able to flash a modified bios that removed the Lenovo wifi card whitelist, and replaced it with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 which was amazing.

Might I ask what problems you had? My experience with the 8192 was poor only because the drivers were in staging until the 3.0 kernel release. I switched to the 8188 in my netbook and the 8171 (maybe, my memory is failing me on that one) on my main laptop. Not all realtek chipsets are equal...
