I have a list of wireless adapters that are supported by the software "CommView", and was looking on NewEgg to compare their prices & specs.

I found a good number of the wireless PCI cards one at a time (in different browser windows) and couldn't seem to get them all in a "compare" format in order to compare them.

So then I tried to search based on if they had the "n (draft)" standard capability, as most of the CommView supported wireless network cards had this feature, and discovered that you couldn't search by this parameter.

"n" is, apparantly (I'm no expert) the new standard and people are going to be wanting to upgrade, looking only at the "n"-capable network adapters.  It's just a matter of time, you may as well get ahead of the curve and build this standard in early.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Almost.  If you note the list you have presented, they are an assortment of various "IEEE 802.11x/...x" standards.

I want "IEEE 802.11x/...N" and only those with "N".

"N" is the new standard; it allows you to connect to an "N" supported router at least twice, thereby at least doubling the possible connection bandwidth from 54 Mbs to 102 Mbs.  I don't know if it can do more than this, but I am certain the bandwidth doubles with the new "N" standard.  It's the new thing, and everyone will want it soon.  AND, they'll want "N" routers too, as you need both an N-supported router and N-supported Wireless network card in order to get the greater than 54 Mbs wireless connection bandwidth.

So you can consider my suggestion to include wireless connection points (routers, etc...) as well as wireless connection adapters.  People will be wanted to filter out everything BUT the "N" standard soon.

If you can produce this for me using the current tech, I'd be interested.  Maybe I'm the one needing a lesson.

The list that I presented is off of newegg.com to compare, you can do that with any item as long as it under that category.

Wireless N and Draft 2.0 have been out sense 2006 so really it’s not that new and it known as MIMO technology (multiple-input multiple-output). Wireless B and G networks are actually better then wireless N. And I have wireless N at my home and need less to say I am going back to 802.11g. Any one can put a N wireless card in their PC or laptop and still use a G and B network they are not proprietary at all, they made N just like G to be backwards compatible. The only time you will get a true 54MBs or higher off the network is transferring files internally on the network it self.

Can you present for me a search that filters-out all PCI Wireless Adapters except those that are "N" compabltible ?

How about you learn how to do it. So far all I have seen you do after pulling your thread count is complain about anything and just about every thing.

This is the "Suggestions" fprum.  I"m suggesting that the search filter allow to include only those wireless adapters that are "N" compatible.  You are unable to show me how to do it, so the logical conclusion is that it cannot be done, and so the suggestion is valid, and possibly worth doing.
