WORRIED ABOUT the length your notebook takes to boot, even with the awesome power of Centrino technology?
Concerned that when you boot your notebook, you'll find your keyboard crashes for no reason and even if it doesn't, you've wasted precious battery time only to find "no wi-fi around".

Then you probably need the awesome power of a little battery powered device that claims to detect 802.11x networks without powering up your notebook.
