Location is the big key as it really affects the connection speed.  One problem - in my system - if I leave the card in and the mac sleeps while the connection is established the connection fails.  There's no way to re-connect.  It requires a re-boot which locks up the system.  i've resorted to powering it down with the on/off switch.  It won't power down by itself.<br><br>Hopefully, they're working on a fix for this.<br><br>The card truly offers you freedom of movement.
